While building smsq for Asterisk 1.8 the first error I got was missing pots.h. I solved this by installing libpopt-dev sudo apt-get install libpopt-dev. Now I am getting

I figured it out, the following steps helped.

make clean
./configure --with-bluetooth **note that bluetooth has nothing to do with this issue, I need it for chan_mobile**
sudo make
make menuconfig -> Utilities -> smsq enable it
sudo make install
cd utils **note do not use make utils/smsq, it wont work**
make smsq **its now built**
sudo cp smsq /usr/bin/asterisk/

Basically menuconfig did not have smsq enabled it hat XXX, that indicated a build issue with smsq. I guess common sense triggered that building asterisk will setup the smsq references to popt$$$$ links for ld. And enabling it before the make install also make sense.
