[Asterisk-Users] Trying to clarify ideas about spands, libtiff & FC4

[Carlos Alperin]

I spent more than 3 weeks, with some little help of people that belongs to
this forum, and after try differents combinations of versions this is my
conclusion:

 

I tried RH9, FC4 & FC4 64

I tried with CVS 1.0.2, and Stable 1.0.9

I tried with spandsp 0.0.2pre18, 0.0.2pre20 & 0.0.2pre21

Libtiff 3.5.7 & libtiff devel 3.5.7

Libtiff 3.7.1 & libtiff devel 3.7.3 (I couldn't find 3.7.1)

 

My conclusion is:

 

If I need to be able to use fax with Spandsp, app_rxfax.c & app_txfax.c with
libtiff 3.5.7 (and libtiff devel 3.5.7) there is no way to do that on FC4
(get conflict with GTK2+)

So it looks like I have to go back to RH9 and at least upgrade to kernel
2.4.31, and try again.

 

This is under the presumption that Spandsp, & the rest are going to work.
(Looking at the forum, that is not a 100% fact).

 

It should be a way to save us a lot of time, if somebody can unify all the
requeriments on each OS, so we can decide before to start which direction to
follow.

 

The reason for RH9 & FC4 is because they're more familiar. But if someone
can show me a working configuration, I don't hesitate to move the platform.

 

By the way, the 64 bits platform still looks to be very unstable and not so
fast to implement with Asterisk.

 

To the digium support: I understand that your recommendation is to go to 2.6
kernel, but if I need to run spandsp, how to do that without libtiff 3.5.7.

 

The general experience is libtiff 3.7.1 locks the asterisk when the machine
boots.

 

Please feel free to send every kind of disappointments opinions. That is
going to feel me much better that no answers. 

(Even if you can show me how stupid I was doing all kind of mistakes) 

 

Regards,
