I'm trying to install Asterisk 1.8 on an Amazon Linux Server (2015.09). 

sudo yum install asterisk

This results in the following errors:

Error: Package: libresample-0.1.3-12.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libsndfile.so.1(libsndfile.so.1.0)(64bit)
Error: Package: asterisk-1.8.32.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libgsm.so.1()(64bit)
Error: Package: libresample-0.1.3-12.el6.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libsndfile.so.1()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest, and then yum again, but that didn't fix it.

So it seems I need libsndfile.so.1 and libgsm.so.1.

How do I install or fix this, and how can I get Asterisk installed?

    I'd recommend using a different linux distro - Amazon linux is poorly-supported, poorly-understood, and behaves in unpredictable ways. CentOS or Debian would be a better starting place. – EEAA Mar 24 '16 at 14:49

    EPEL is not compatible with Amazon Linux. So I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work. Get rid of Amazon Linux and try again with a more reasonable distro. – Michael Hampton Mar 24 '16 at 19:36

    My advice is to switch distro. Centos is available and offers those packages differently than Amazon Linux – Maurizio Benedetti Mar 30 '16 at 07:42
  • Thanks mate but this is not a competition, not at all :) – Maurizio Benedetti Apr 12 '16 at 12:51

You need to install the rpm packages that contain the missing libraries. The problem is those packages are not present in the repositories you are using.

You can use rpmfind to find which packages provide your libraries and in which repositories you might find them.
