KSMPPD Installation fails with error configure: error: Please install kannel gw-config before installing.

I have been running KSMPPD on Cento 6 for about 4 years. I recently tried upgrading and running it on Centos 7. However, despite the installation of kannel with gw-config presets, Installation still fails with the error configure: error: Please install kannel gw-config before installing. when I run the command ./configure. I have tried different versions of Kannel from 1.44 to 1.45 stable versions.

Check the commits history on master. There is a commit that makes changes to the file. Clone and reset to the commit immediately before the change and then install.

@acaciabengo , can you please help me. I'm not finding the right commit

[acaciabengo]

Please read through the commits. I cannot recall.

If you have installed kannel gateway properly, then gw-config binary will be installed along with kannel gateway. please make sure this command is available in your path, then installation will work smoothly.

I have tried in Docker with centos8 as I don't have CentOS machine Please Note the Steps and verify with your steps

1. Make Environment Ready for Package Build

   yum update -y yum groupinstall "Development tools" -y

2. Install Dependencies Packages

   yum install libxml2-devel -y yum install -y libevent-devel yum install jadetex -y yum install mysql-devel -y yum install svn -y

3. Install Kannel gateway (If not Installed Earlier)

   cd /usr/local/src/ svn co https://svn.kannel.org/gateway/trunk kannel-trunk --trust-server-cert --non-interactive cd /usr/local/src/kannel-trunk/ ./bootstrap.sh ./configure --with-mysql --enable-ssl --enable-start-stop-daemon --enable-static make make install

4. Install Ksmppd from Source

cd /usr/local/src/ git clone https://github.com/kneodev/ksmppd.git cd /usr/local/src/ksmppd/ curl -O -L "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/shtool/shtool-2.0.8.tar.gz" tar zxvf shtool-2.0.8.tar.gz cd /usr/local/src/ksmppd/shtool-2.0.8 ./configure make install cd /usr/local/src/ksmppd/ autoreconf -iv ./configure make make install

@Floresco For your case I guess the kennel gateway installation missing
