You can fix this issue by compiling asterisk again. do this: cd /usr/src/asterisk-version make distclean make clean ./configure make menuselect make install

but not succeeded

What can happened?

Answer 1

You can configure asterisk with prefix

e.g

./configure --prefix=/usr/local 

and then try

make && make install

and set the path variable appropriately to

e.g export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin/

Answer 2

In modern version you should do

  ldconfig

After install of asterisk. If you install it in /usr/local/ path, you also should put /usr/local/lib/ into /etc/ld.so.conf.d/asterisk before that.

You can get info where you installed asterisk binary by using find utility

find / -name asterisk 

Answer 3

if not found then it was not installed.

Answer 4

try restarting the service after install, once it stops

asterisk restart
