I've run 1.2.14 - 1.2.18 and 1.4.4 - 1.4.9 on CentOS 4.4 and 4.5 x86_64 with
no problems.

If your distro is one of those supported by http://www.atrpms.net/ then you
should be fine - they package zaptel and asterisk for x86_64.

If not, it works fine to build on your own, though some versions are a bit
finicky (IIRC, earlier versions of 1.2.x wouldn't look for libpri in
/usr/lib64, just in /usr/lib.  That resulted in a chan_zap module without
PRI support if you didn't modify the configure script.

1.4 doesn't seem to suffer from these problems, as they've revamped the
whole build system since 1.2.
