Starting out...

Tried to install the necessary packages listed on page 67 of the book.

-Successfully installed gcc.

-The ncurses-devel package is covered in libncurses and libncurses-devel for Ubuntu, both of which were successfully installed. Followed instructions from here.

-libtermcap-devel not found

-Kernel Development Headers not found

-gcc c++ not found (but already included with Ubuntu)

-OpenSSL (optional) not attempted

-newt-devel (optional) not found

-zlib-devel (optional) not found

-unixODBC; unixOBDC-devel (optional) not found

-libtool installed successfully

-GNU make already included with Ubuntu

Several of these packages have alternates as suggested on the page I linked to above (Asterisk Tips for...Ubuntu) but I didn't have time to go through them properly tonight. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow.

  1. the dpkg command would have shown that openssl is already installed

    dpkg --get-selection |grep openssl

    documented at: http://www.debianadmin.com/debianubuntu-package-management-using-dpkg.html

    apt-get is the 'prefered' way to install unless you need a newwe version or a different set of file locations.

    apt-get is documented at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto

  2. I kind of figured that openssl would already be installed, but I think the command is actually

    dpkg -l openssl

    the --get-selection option isn't recognized.

    apt-get was handy in some places, but when I ran into problems I usually had to resort to finding the actual mirror, copying the link, and then use wget.
