Summary
A friend called and asked me for some help installing Asterisk 1.4 on his system so lets begin.
Download the tars from digium
Make yourself a nice little place to place in /usr/src/
mkdir /usr/src/asterisk cd /usr/src/asterisk
wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-addons-1.4.1.tar.gz wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/libpri/libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz
Extract the tars
tar zxvf asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz tar zxvf asterisk-addons-1.4.1.tar.gz tar zxvf libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz tar zxvf zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz
Check the Kernel for compatibility
This is probably the most complex part so pay attention.
You will need the kernel sources to compile zaptel sounds easy right? Wrong with dual core CPUs being so common these days you need to make sure you have either one core or 1< cores.
For those of you with only one core issue this command:
yum install kernel-devel
For those of you with more than one issue this command:
yum install kernel-smp-devel
Compile zaptel
Some people have issues with linking to there kernel sources. If you get errors like this:
You do not appear to have the sources for the kernel installed.
You need to symlink to the kernel source as stated in the Readme.Linux26
ln -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ `uname -r`
Now you are ready to configure and compile zaptel. Change to the zaptel directory and lets get dirty!
cd /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel*
Lets check out what it is actually installing and then save the make config by pressing 'x'
make menuconfig
Now you are ready to make if everything goes right you shouldn't see any errors.
make
Now install...
make install
If everything went well you should end up with something like this and your prompt returning below.
Building /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel... *** *** WARNING: *** If you had custom settings in /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel, *** they have been moved to /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel.bak. *** *** In the future, do not edit /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel, but *** instead put your changes in another file *** in the same directory so that they will not *** be overwritten by future Zaptel updates. *** [root@localhost zaptel-1.4.2.1]#
Last we have to generate the configuration files.
make config
Compile libpri
If you will be using a Digium or Sangoma telephony card that supports T1/E1 signaling do this step as well.
cd /usr/src/asterisk/libpri* make install
Here is some output for fun:

Compile Asterisk
Finally you are in the home stretch! Now all thats left is compiling asterisk and its addons.
cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk*
Lets configure make and check out the options via menuconfig
./configure
More output for fun:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating build_tools/menuselect-deps
config.status: creating makeopts
config.status: creating channels/h323/Makefile
config.status: creating include/asterisk/autoconfig.h

So now lets get into menuconfig where we can see exactly how it will be configured.
make menuconfig
You should end up with a screen like below:
*************************************
Asterisk Module Selection
*************************************
Press 'h' for help.
---> 1. Applications
2. Call Detail Recording
3. Channel Drivers
4. Codec Translators
5. Format Interpreters
6. Dialplan Functions
7. PBX Modules
8. Resource Modules
9. Voicemail Build Options
10. Compiler Flags
11. Module Embedding
12. Core Sound Packages
13. Music On Hold File Packages
14. Extras Sound Packages
Hit 'h' to get a basic idea of how to use menuconfig
*************************************
Asterisk Module Selection
*************************************
Press 'h' for help.
scroll => up/down arrows
toggle selection => Enter
select => y
deselect => n
select all => F8
deselect all => F7
back => left arrow
quit => q
save and quit => x
XXX means dependencies have not been met
or a conflict exists
< > means a dependency has been deselected
and will be automatically re-selected
if this item is selected
( ) means a conflicting item has been
selected
Once you are satisfied and done nosing around hit 'x' and it will save and quit. Now lets stop messing around and make + make install
make make install
Lastly we have to setup and configure the addons.
cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-addons* make make install
Thats it you should now have a full functioning Asterisk box. Only thing left to figure out now is how to administrate it?
