[asterisk-users] Bad luck installing bristuff on multiple Linux'es. Any one got a good-luck story I can repeat?

[Cosmin Prund]

Thanks for your input. I'm good at following instructions (if I can find 
instructions) so I'll give anything a try!

I'm downloading bristuff from http://junghanns.net/downloads/ and the 
tar's I'm getting from there contain some kind of "bootstraping" for the 
installation. The "install.sh" file simply calls "download.sh" and then 
"compile.sh".

The download.sh script downloads a specific version of asterisk (and 
everything else required) so I doubt it gets it wrong. It then patches 
the thing all by itself, using exactly the instructions you gave. It 
fails when it tries compiling stuff. I installed CentOS 3 using 
"everything" as an install option so I think I've got everything.

If you ever got this working, would you be so kind to tell what version 
of Linux you used and what version of bristuff? I prefer 
CentOS/Fedora/RHL instalations as that's what I've always used and 
that's what I know, but I'm willing to use anything as long as it gets 
the work done.

Thanks again,
Cosmin Prund
