[asterisk-users] G729 copy protection

[Bruce McAlister]

Hi All,

I have been trying to get the Solaris version of the G729 codec to work
with asterisk 1.2.17 and 1.2.22. However, I come up against the very
same error every time I try to install it. Has anyone out there seen
this error, taken from the asterisk console straight from startup:

for i386))

I have tried it with all the available v32 architectures and every one
of them comes back with the very same error.

I have done a search to see if anyone else came accross this error,
there was one reference to the FreeBSD codec doing this, but apparently
a new version of the codec came out that fixed it, the link for the
FreeBSD error reference is here:

I'm at wits end at the moment, so, if anyone has any suggestions
whatsoever, please feel free to put them forth, I'm willing to try
anything at the moment.

Oh, and the hardware we're running it with is:

Solaris 10 Update 3

The CPU's are Opterons, but I have forced Solaris to boot in 32bit mode
as the target server for the asterisk package I'm making is 32bit
Solaris. Hopefully the i386 version of the codec should work on Opteron
processors?

Thanks
Bruce
