Topic: Asterisk/SME platform

[tag]

Hi guys,

Help my poor frazzled little brain please.  I've been running Asterisk on SME (built from sources) for a while and decided to try the RPM instead.  RPM installs fine but has no digium board/Zaptel support.  So.. I install the Zaptel rpm but can't modprobe the boards (modules missing?).  So - I recompile Zaptel from source and now boards are recognised and lights are on.  However, Asterisk (rpm version) doesn't seem to recognise that they're there, despite loading all the same .conf files which were successfully working on the original source compile.  

Do I need to go back to a compiled Asterisk to run my Digium cards or am I missing something here?

Normally you compile the Zaptel sources first and then Asterisk.

Asterisk will compile with chan_zap if the zaptel package exists (It wont if it doesnt). The rpm was probably built on a machine that did not have the Zaptel drivers and hence is missing the relevent bits.

I would suggest dumping the rpm and compiling the latest version of * from source.

Yeah - that's what I figured.  Still, nice to know for sure - thanks mate.
