[Asterisk-Users] Problems compiling zaptel

[Alejandro Acosta]

Hello,
  This is my first message to the list..., I am new with asterisk, zaptel
and all this kind of things.
  Well, the case is: I have four days trying to compile zaptel and it has
been very imposible, I have searched the web, the mailing list archive, I
have read dozen of documents without success.
  I know that many of you recommend Red Hat as the linux distribution but I
would like to use Mandrake since all our servers are running it.
  I have already installed openssl-devel, kernel source code, bison, sox,
readline and readline-devel.
 I am running Mandrake 9.2 with kernel 2.4-22mdk10. I tried to compiled the
kernel using either kernel source from Mandrake and and I also tried with a
downloaded kernel from kernel.org. Both kernels gave me the same result.

This is what I have done so far:

- I downloaded kernel 2.4-22 file from kernel.org
- cd /usr/src
- tar -jxvf linux-2.4.22.tar.bz2
- ln -s linux-2.4.22 linux
- ln -s linux-2.4.22 linux-2.4
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make clean; make menuconfig
- saved without any change
- make mrproper
- make dep
- it finishes without any error


- cd /usr/src
- export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs at cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot
- cvs login          - the password is anoncvs.
- cvs checkout zaptel

- cd zaptel
- make clean; make install

Then, I receive the following:

So, I tried to follow the suggestions given in the error message but none of
then worked.

I did:

- ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/build
- make clean
- make -I/lib/modules/build/include

and I receive the same error.

Thank you very much!!!, any help will be really appreciated.
