Thanks G for the encouragement.
No doubt I'll ask lots of daft questions. :)

That didn't seem to work: "Nothing to do" (full listing below)

Do I need to add another repository?

Is yum the 'right' way to do this? There is a 'packages' menu option in Trixbox/FreePBX. Perhaps packages is actually yum???

As I said, most of this is new to me.

[root@asterisk1 celliax]# yum install alsa-dev

I'll carry on looking.

I did yum search alsa* which made me think it should be alsa-lib-devel so I tried this:

Two questions about that .....

1) Why am I seeing script in the output?

2) What are these config *sample* files? (I have some config in Trixbox and don't want to overwrite it with samples.)

Is that progress? I guess I'm learning, probably learning by my mistakes :)

Now I seem to have X Windows problems.
"Can not find -lX11"
Why do I need X11 library to install CellIAX ????

I found a post saying that this is sometimes caused by FreeType, but applied the fix removing a freetype file ... and still get the above error.

X Windows does not appear to be installed on Trixbox 2.2

I have tried adding various packages with yum: xorg-libX11-devel???, but no luck.

Any suggestions how I can solve this?
Also, how can I troubleshoot this myself in future? It's very slow iterating towards a working solution by asking a question each time :)

Sorry about these newbie questions. I need to get a spare box and play more with Linux.

to compile celliax with skype support, you need the development files for libX11 (I do not know which package it is into).

You can #undef CELLIAX_SKYPE and WANT_SKYPE_X11 if you are not planning to use skype, so it will no more need X11

Then,from the asterisk-1.2.17 directory, do:

touch sounds/ciao.mp3

then make install. Sorry for all this unnecessary mess :(

Help! ... I thought this was supposed to be relatively simple? :)

I know a lot more about Linux/CentOS commands than I did, but not enough to make my own way or to know where to look for problems and solutions.

Iterating to a solution is not very efficient or swift ...

The install still seems to want X Windows.

If inclusion of X Windows is controlled by the defines, then the following should work.

I have tried the following:

=> 1 ========= edited chan_celliax.c to remove the windows defines ========

/* rewriting begin */
#include "asterisk/version.h" /* needed here for conditional compilation on version.h */
/* the following #defs are for LINUX */
#undef ASTERISK_VERSION_1_4
#undef CELLIAX_SKYPE
#undef WANT_SKYPE_X11
#define CELLIAX_ALSA
#undef CELLIAX_WINMM
#define CELLIAX_DIR
#define CELLIAX_LIBCSV
/* the following #defs are for WINDOWS */
/*** MODULEINFO
asound
***/
/* INCLUDES */
#include "asterisk.h"

=> 2 ========= Deleted old_chan_celliax.c ========

[root@asterisk1 celliax_stuff]# ls
alsactl.txt celliax_spandsp.h newconfigs
asound.conf chan_celliax.c old_chan_celliax.c
celliax_libcsv.c cyg_no_pthread_kill.c sh
celliax_libcsv.h dialog-1.0-20060221 states_n_controls.h
celliax_spandsp.c LiveCD

[root@asterisk1 celliax_stuff]# rm old_chan_celliax.c
rm: remove regular file `old_chan_celliax.c'? y

=> 3 ========= Checked defines for CELLIAX_SKYPE and WANT_SKYPE_X11 ========
=> 3 ========= are not in this directory ========

[root@asterisk1 celliax_stuff]# cat * | grep "efine CELLIAX_SKYPE"

cat: dialog-1.0-20060221: Is a directory
cat: LiveCD: Is a directory
cat: newconfigs: Is a directory
cat: sh: Is a directory

[root@asterisk1 celliax_stuff]# cat * | grep "efine WANT_SKYPE"

cat: sh: Is a directory
[root@asterisk1 celliax_stuff]#

=> 4 ========= Ran make clean ========
=> 5 ========= Ran touch sounds/ciao.mp3 ========
=> 6 ========= Ran make install ========

The result?

gcc -shared -Xlinker -x -o chan_celliax.so chan_celliax.o celliax_spandsp.o celliax_libcsv.o -lasound -lm -ldl -lX11

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 <----------------- CLANG !

I'm probably not the ideal person to try this on Trixbox 2.2.

Am I the first?
