[asterisk-users] Looking for a mentor

Looking for a mentor...

Having some issues with Asterisk 1.4.22 install.  I am
new to both Linux and Asterisk, however have 20+ years
programming experience.

First off I hate asking questions I could answer
myself. I have and am reading The Asterisk manual, 2nd
edition.  I have successfully installed CentOS 5.2 and
used yum to get a C compiler, current speed bump is
with ./configure

bash: ./configure: Permission denied

I'm logged in to root in /usr/src which is where I
placed aterisk 1.4.22

1) So my first question is how do I do a keyword
search of the ALL or any of the list archives, so
often the same questions get asked...

2) I feel certain that once I am over the first few
speed bumps, I can start cranking out dialplans, heck
if I can write real-time process control code in
fortran in the 80's...

3) I have reviewed the Digium classes, bootcamp etc
and although they would all be a shotgun fix, I really
think 20 hours or less of another user's time would
get me where I want to be. 

4) I am new, if I am in the wrong place, please,
gently show me the door/where I chould be.
