Help - Application installation

[Alex@Synergy]

Hi all,

If I start by telling you what I need to do, maybe someone can tell me what other information you need to know to help me resolve my current issue (my knowledge of Linux is a huge...Zero! So I apologise in advance if some of the things I say make no sense! ).

I work for a company based in Suffolk (which is in the UK) I joined the company recently and they have a phone server which has been running on a desktop. But due to expansion this has now moved onto a rack mounted server, this server will be running Asterisk 1.2.91. The employee that built the original machine left before I started so I have no referral point I'm afraid.

The version of Linux we have installed is SUSE 10.5 and the applications I required installed are: -

-Asterisk-1.2.9.1
-Asterisk-Addons-1.2.7
-Asterisk-Addons-1.4.2
-Lipri-1.2.5
-mpg123-0.59r
-Zaptel-1.2.19

I have downloaded the tar files and saved them into the /usr/src folder. The install I'm having problems with is the mpg123.

The commands I have been using are as follows: -

#cd /usr/src
#tar -zxvf mpg123-0.59r.tar.gz
#cd mpg123-0.59r
#make linux (this is where the process fails)
#make install

I have an image here of the error message I am getting.

Thanks in advance for any input!

Your URL above does not work so on a guess. Have you installed gcc? Not sure but you may also need the kernel source if the package must be linked to the kernel.

Here's a software installation howto that might offer some assistance:

The version of Linux we have installed is SUSE 10.5

10.5 ? .... minor typo methinks. Either that or you have a time machine and found a server with a version of SuSE installed that we are all lusting after. And if thats the case, I wanna copy.

To find out exactly what version of SuSE you have, open a konsole and type:
cat /etc/SuSE-release

Some basic concepts (not specifically relevant to your problem) on openSUSE here:

Hi guys,

For some reason the older version wouldn't install (not a clue why).

But I downloaded the latest version and used the ./configure command and it work!

Thanks for all the input guys,

Alex
