On my new install of suse 9.1 I do the following

1. during the suse install I pick EVERYTHING (except the united linux
box -)! (specific packages are listed on the astrisk website.
2. don't let it do an update (it askes at the end of the installation).
3. after first boot log in; type cd /usr/src/linux (hit enter)
type zcat /proc/config.gz > .config (hit enter)
type make oldconfig (hit enter) 
Lots of things will scroll by very quickly.... if you didn't select the
kernel source packages you'll get an error here...
4. cd /usr/src (hit enter) then type ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.4-54.5
linux-2.6 (hit enter) --- linux-2.6.4-54.5 is the stock 9.1 kernel... if
you did an update this will be wrong.
5. cd /where/the folder/that/holds/the/asterisk/libpri/zapte/files  I
put them in /pbx for simplicity.
6 type cd zaptel (enter)
7. type make clean; make install; cd ..
8. when thats done type cd libpri (enter) hit the arrow up key till you
see the same command you typed befor make clean; make install; cd ..
9. when thats done type cd asterisk (enter) then type make clean; make
install (enter).
10 that will take several min. --- even with a fast machine. WHen it's
done you will see the instructions to type make samples (hit enter).

That should get you started! These instructions work with both my intel
and opteron based systems.

Welcome to the wonderful world of asterisk!
