Ok, that explains why I had success building it.

rpmbuild will auto-generate dependencies when the package is built, so if 
it's built with libpri and zaptel and dynamic libraries from those packages 
are needed, the resulting binary RPM won't install without them.

I'll leave it to others to build binaries. I always download a source RPM 
when available and rebuild it myself to "fit" it to my system. I'm one of 
those who prefer to build from source but I still want the installed files 
tracked by the RPM database.
