Sorry, yes, the version difference was a typo on my part.

The original asterisk download documentation that I used referred 
to the four(?) source directories - zaptel, libpri, and asterisk. 
It took me some time to figure out that I did not need the zapel 
and libpri stuff unless I was using that hardware, which I was 
not, so I just ignored that part.

All that I did was:
  downloaded the cvs files
# cd ../asterisk
# make clean ; make install

It is the zaptel code that needs the linux source.  If you really 
need that see the VOIP-info.org Asterisk installation tips.
Basically you need the source, AND the appropriate .config files 
and pointers. They say that to setup the environment you should:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
  (load the config from /boot/config??
  (exit and save current config
# make dep

Then
# cd ../zaptel
# make clean ; make install

If you want to install the asterisk documentation with
# cd ../asterisk
# make progdocs
you also need the following packages:
doxygen, graphviz, graphviz-tcl
