Did you apply some patch to chan_capi?
That's what I meant with the 'CVS_HEAD setting is not good', because some
changes were made between some releases and the chan_capi Makefile just 
knows 'old' and 'new' which is not working for some versions.
Anyway 1.0.7 should work with unpatched chan_capi 0.3.5.

I still want to fix some race-conditions. It should be ready for 'testing' 
end of this week.
