Compile problems

[fyredraken]

Hello

I am trying to install Asterisk and Zaptel using this guide (http://expectus.hubpages.com/hub/How...p-Asterisk-PBX) with updated packages from asterisk. I am having a compile error with zaptel that I'm not sure how to fix (asterisk and zaptel are not in the repositories). I am using Using Server 12.04 with desktop package installed.

My compile output is (for configure and make):

I'm not sure what I need to do, would someone guide me in the right direction please?

Looks like the system might be missing autoconf. Try installing that and automake while you're at it, and then compiling again:

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf

I have the current automake and autoconf installed

autoconf is already the newest version.
automake is already the newest version.

zaptel is obsolete, see dahdi
