Why not install asterisk-1.6.0.1 with 'yum' or the
package manager : "Add / Remove Software" ? ?
1) su , password
2) yum install asterisk*
... the star ( * ) takes care, that all 30 packages are installed.

You are trying to compile an older version.
If you really want to do that, the c++ compiler is needed :
# yum install gcc-c++
.....

But it is not recommended to build it yourself, the yum method
will result in a much more consistent system.
.....

thanks..

will try to do that...
