[Asterisk-bsd] Hello List :) New to Asterisk not new to FreeBSD

[webmasterb]

Hello fellow asteriskers (can i say that?)

My name is Brian.  I'm looking to setup asterisk on a 1.1GB machine with
256MB of RAM Using an X100P wildcard (clone? i ordered the devices on EBay).
When up and running I would like to use this machine with my Vonage VOIP
connection. To support my young educational non-profit org -> shameless plug
www.parkday.org.

I have been reading about asterisk for about one month now. I have purchased
the O'reilly Book "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony" and have read about
half of it.

First attempt at running asterisk on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE resulted in a core
dump anytime I tried to run asterisk from the cmd line.  Poking around I
read somewhere?? that asterisk is not quite ready for 6.0 RELEASE just yet.
Upon reading this I went and re-installed the OS with version 5.4 RELEASE.

First thing I did after re-installing my OS is re-copiled my kernel to
remove all extraneous devices, everything is ok so far.

Now I downloaded all the asterisk (main sounds addons) source code from
digium ftp site placed them in /usr/src.

Then I went into the /usr/ports and installed bison gmake and libpri.

>From there went to the zaptel ports directory to install the zaptel drivers
from there... Here's where things start to get sticky?

patrick#   make clean && make && make install

install seemed to be completed ok

patrick#  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zaptel.sh start
kldload: can't load %%PREFIX%%/lib/zaptel/zaptel.ko: No such file or
directory

Here's where I'm lost?  On my first attempt using 6.0-RELEASE zaptel started
up fine at boot time and even recognized both X100P cards?

So I wondered . . . Do I need to install asterisk before I tried to run the
zaptel drivers?  So I went into /usr/src/asterisk-1.0.10 and ran:

patrick#  gmake clean && gmake && gmake install

All seemed to go well there, So I ran:

patrick#  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zaptel.sh start

Which resulted in the same error as before.  So now I'm really stumped!


Any assistance with my conundrum would be greatly appreciated.



Thanx

bb
