[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel won't compile under Fedora Core 4

[Bates, Curtis]

My fault.  The kernel and kernel-dev packages got out of sync.  All is better now.

Which version of Zaptel are you using?  I am using version 1.09 and having issues,  I did not have issues with 1.08.

kernel-glibcheaders is the part of the kernel headers that user-space 
programs need. Not any good reference for any kernel module to build
with.

linux/version.h is generated as part of the configuration process of the
kernel configuration process ("make {,menu,x,g}config") of the kernel 
source.

What version of zaptel do you try to build? For what kernel version?
Your distro's default or your one you've built yourself?



That did the trick-  I  untarred the kernel source, ran "make oldconfig && make", and got the linux/version.h file. Then did a "ln -s kernels/linux-2.6.12 linux-2.6" in the /usr/src dir. Once that was done, went to the zaptel dir and it compiled beautifully. Thank you so much.

To answer your question, I am running the latest version in CVS using "cvs update -d -r v1-0", and kernel 2.6.12. I ended up building my own kernel (not installed) to get this to work (not sure if I could do it the other way).

Thanks again for the help, and hopefully my notes will help others.
