Asterisk configure error due to missing uuid development package

Question

I am installing asterisk 13.

• OS: Linux 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
• Asterisk version : asterisk-certified-13.21

While running configure command I am having following error:

...
checking for LIBEDIT... no
checking for history_init in -ledit... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... yes
checking for uuid_generate_random in -luuid... no
checking for uuid_generate_random in -le2fs-uuid... no
checking for uuid_generate_random... no
configure: error: *** uuid support not found (this typically means the uuid development package is missing)
...

Error indicates that uuid development package is missing but i have installed uuid.devel package Kindly find the out put of the command as follows

command :rpm -qa | grep uuid
output:
uuid-1.6.2-26.el7.x86_64
uuid-devel-1.6.2-26.el7.i686
libuuid-2.23.2-21.el7.x86_64
uuid-1.6.2-26.el7.i686

Hence i believe i have the required package but still i am having this error any ideas for the same.

Solution 1

You also need the libuuid-devel package installed!

Solution 2

The question is already answered, but if you came here and you are trying to install Asterisk on Ubuntu, try:

sudo apt install uuid-dev
