[Asterisk-Users] Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

[Jose Hernandez]

I installed TDM400P and X100P pci cards in a system running mandrake 10.1
official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdksmp. I can compile zaptel, libpri, asterisk
and modprobe (zaptel, wcfxs, wcfxo) without errors. Except that running
ztcfg and asterisk fails.

[root at asterisk asterisk]# ztcfg
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 3: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

[root at asterisk asterisk]# asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvcg

I found an page on the wiki that suggested commenting the "ifeq ($(DYNFS),)
else end if" block in Makefile. I made the changes recompiled without errors
but still same error running ztcfg and starting asterisk.

Any suggestions?
