<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Hi Bruce,</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Thanks for responding to my message. Doesn't seem like anyone is or is interested in running Asterisk on Solaris or if they are then they're being very secretive / quiet about it as I need a bit of help.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Yes, I do know that SolarisVoIP people do have pre-built packages out there that I can simply install without having to deal with compiling them which I have actually done for Asterisk. Alas, the version of Asterisk they have in that pkg is v1.2.7.1. Also, don't know if you've recently looked at the page at SolarisVoIP but they do have a package for OpenSolaris v5.11 which is a fairly recent Solaris version however it beats me why it comes with Asterisk v1.2.7.1 instead of 1.4 or 1.6 even. Anyway, so yeah like I said, I have that installed, but I can't start it as it fails trying to look for Zaptel stuff. </font></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Tahoma">Zaptel package isn't installing though ...crashes midway complaining that:</font></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Tahoma"><em>"Operating environment requirement not met.<br>This package requires Solaris 7 or better.<br>checkinstall script suspends"</em></font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Tahoma">huh? I'm running 5.11, which according to some rigorous mathematical calculations, I concluded IS better than v5.7. Unfortunately, I've been away from the development world so long that I can't remember where to go about hacking a "package" and extract the scripts etc to change the logic or fix whatever is causing it to believe that my OS isn't meeting the min. req. </font></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Tahoma">Lastly, w.r.t to running it within a VM, yes, I do understand the timing problems etc, but this exercise is just to document how to compile Asterisk/Zaptel under Solaris 10/11 so when I do get a real Solaris machine, I have already sorted out all the issues with installing/compiling etc </font></div>
<div><font face="Tahoma"></font> </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">As far as I am aware the version of Zaptel on SolarisVoIP is out of date. Aditionally the versions of the packages compiled at SolarisVoIP are only available, as far as I am aware, for the Solaris platform and not the OpenSolaris platform, there may be subtle differences between the two that may be causing your build error.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">If you have a look at SolarisVoIP there are pre-built packages for SPARC/X86 hardware which you do not need to build yourself. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">In saying all of the above, your millage may vary with zaptel running in a VM as the timing is virtualized (via usb) and is not, as far as I know, very well supported within a VM.</span></p>
