Check ztdummy.h and ztdummy.c and make doubly sure USE_RTC is defined.
It sounds like you are using a version compiled without USE_RTC on one

If you do not have any zaptel cards in the system,then ztdummy is
required for anything that requires local timing. That includes
MeetMe, IAX2 trunking and possibly a few other things.

Yes, if you use MeetMe to do it.
