I've got Asterisk CVS running on at least 8 Debian machines - most current
at Testing level - a few current at Unstable level.  Asterisk compiled
cleanly on each system.  I remember there was a few package requirements
that was not default in Debian, but I am not entirely certain which ones it
was.  Check the error message and look for a package with that name + -dev
to get the headeres and libraries for compiling.  Anyway - with the right
packages Asterisk (and everything else) compiles cleanly on Debian.
Contrary to a few other distributions Debian only installs the stuff you
really need - which is the greatest benefit of that distribution.
