[Asterisk-Users] Installation of Asterisk addons 1.0.7 fails (longish)

[Gundemarie Scholz]

Good morning!

Sorry if this gets posted twice, I tried via NNTP before, and it didn't
seem to work.

After having downloaded the tarball for Asterisk addons via FTP from
ftp.asterisk.org I am trying to install it following the instructions on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+addon+asterisk-addons, so far
without success.

Could somebody maybe advise where I am taking the wrong path?



System: Suse 9.3, kernel 2.6
MySQL is installed and running.

I guess "Ensure your root at localhost user does not have a password" means
"an empty password" rather than "no password", and it is meant to be for
the MySQL database user root.

Trying to run the command
perl -MCPAN -e "install DBD::mysql"
produces lots of errors:
"Can't exec "mysql_config": No such file or directory" etc.

Being completely unknowing about Perl I started Yast to see if maybe
there I could take a different way, and it seems the packet
"perl-DBD-mysql" is already installed, so I wonder if I need to take
this step at all. Leaving it out for now "make clean" worked fine, "make
install" gave me the following errors:

app_addon_sql_mysql.c:31:25: mysql/mysql.h: No such file or directory
cdr_addon_mysql.c:24:22: asterisk.h: No such file or directory
cdr_addon_mysql.c:33:19: mysql.h: No such file or directory
cdr_addon_mysql.c:34:20: errmsg.h: No such file or directory

Adding the lines
CFLAGS+=-I../asterisk-1.0.7
CFLAGS+=-I/usr/include/php/ext/mysql/libmysql
fixed them though, and "make install" didn't produce any further errors.


Following the instructions on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cdr+mysql the file
/etc/asterisk/cdr_mysql.conf does exist, and I have added to
modules.conf the following line:
load => cdr_addon_mysql.so

When trying to starting Asterisk now I get the following errors:

WARNING[8316]: loader.c:258 ast_load_resource:
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/cdr_addon_mysql.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
WARNING[8316]: loader.c:391 load_modules: Loading module
cdr_addon_mysql.so failed!
Warning, flexibel rate not heavily tested!
Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe


Shouldn't the needed file cdr_addon_mysql.so have been created and
placed in the right directory during the installation process? In case
you need any additional information or output - just ask.

Best regards,
Gunde
