[Asterisk-Users] getting * to start on suse 9.1

[eamonn doyle]

hello all,

I have been lurking here for a while learning what I can, and reading
quite a bit, using the fine reference at asteriskdocs.org I have been
building my test server on an older compaq dl380, PIII-700, 1.2gig mem
[X not running].

My problems begin when trying to start * for the first time, I have
purchased a TDM400P card with 4 FXO modules from digium and that is
installed and seemingly working fine from what I can see.

I made a singe entry in zaptel.conf adding "fxsks=1-4"
then
modprobe zaptel
and
modprobe wcfxs

var/log/messages reports:

Jan 12 16:03:42 asterisk kernel: Zapata Telephony Interface Registered

So from what I can see all seems well up to this point.

when I start * I get the following at the very end where it craps out:
[I am assuming this is where the problem is]

[app_privacy.so]Jan 12 16:58:13 WARNING[8395]: loader.c:309
ast_load_resource: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_privacy.so: undefined
symbol: ast_strlen_zero
Jan 12 16:58:13 WARNING[8395]: loader.c:501 load_modules: Loading module
app_privacy.so failed!
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe

This does not mean much to me, and searching on wiki and google only
seem to give references to code examples which are Irish to me.

I have not started the * configuration process yet as it seems I should
be able to get * started prior to that step.

Any help for this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Eamonn
