Oops, my bad, I didn’t setup pjproject. However, the configure script didn’t complain so I assumed I was good to go and proceeded to make asterisk.  Shouldn’t the configure script catch this and not allow someone to proceed to make? Thought that was a function of the configure script, that is, it verifies software dependancies before the build step.

Another thing … the README int the top level directory doesn’t seem to have been updated in a while and doesn’t mention pjproject. If there’s an external requirement like pjproject shouldn’t that go in the README?
