I guess this is a reasonable excuse for Asterisk to segfault.

You should normally get a warning about it in 'make install' .

I have Asterisk installed from packages. I do not want whatever
experimental branch of Asterisk I work with to contaminate my system.
Thus I wrote
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/contrib/scripts/live_ast

asterisk.conf is generated at install time (or rather: at 'make samples'
time). live_ast edits that.

So try:

  make DESTDIR=$PWD/tmp samples

Look at tmp/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf . Be sure to enable the section
[directories] by removing the '()' that follow it if you want it to
actually do something useful.
