I see that Jason Parker from Digium answered your question in both July
and August of last year.  The issue (at least from what I read in the
archives) seems to point to math libraries not being found in the proper
location.  Maybe there are some Solaris folks lurking on the list that
can shed some light -- I'm pretty worthless when it comes to Solaris.
Are you still trying on OpenSolaris, and is there anything different
about the way it handles dynamic linking?

Absolutely!  No only have we successfully loaded the module within
Asterisk, we've made calls through the system using the g.729 codec to
make sure it's actually working.
