</head><body>I've been searching for a "getting started" FAQ and getting frustrated searching the mailing lists. At the risk of incurring the wrath of the old-timers on this list, I have a problem in doing a simple "make". What's worse, I had things working before on a different machine which died, so I'm really baffled. I come from the Windoze world, which might account for my denseness, for which I apologize. I'm running on Ubuntu.<br><br>I downloaded the 1.6.2.11 tarball and ran configure and make with the following results:<br>...<br>configure: *** XML documentation will not be available because the 'libxml2' development package is missing.<br>configure: *** Please run the 'configure' script with the '--disable-xmldoc' parameter option<br>configure: *** or install the 'libxml2' development package.<br>thomasyee@ubuntu:~/development/asterisk-1.6.2.11$ sudo apt-get install libxml2<br>Reading package lists...
