[asterisk-users] Zaptel / Asterisk on Solaris

[RR]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for responding to my message. Doesn't seem like anyone is or is
interested in running Asterisk on Solaris or if they are then they're being
very secretive / quiet about it as I need a bit of help.

Yes, I do know that SolarisVoIP people do have pre-built packages out there
that I can simply install without having to deal with compiling them which I
have actually done for Asterisk. Alas, the version of Asterisk they have in
that pkg is v1.2.7.1. Also, don't know if you've recently looked at the page
at SolarisVoIP but they do have a package for OpenSolaris v5.11 which is a
fairly recent Solaris version however it beats me why it comes with Asterisk
v1.2.7.1 instead of 1.4 or 1.6 even. Anyway, so yeah like I said, I have
that installed, but I can't start it as it fails trying to look for Zaptel
stuff.

Zaptel package isn't installing though ...crashes midway complaining that:

*"Operating environment requirement not met.
This package requires Solaris 7 or better.
checkinstall script suspends"*

huh? I'm running 5.11, which according to some rigorous mathematical
calculations, I concluded IS better than v5.7. Unfortunately, I've been away
from the development world so long that I can't remember where to go about
hacking a "package" and extract the scripts etc to change the logic or fix
whatever is causing it to believe that my OS isn't meeting the min. req.

Lastly, w.r.t to running it within a VM, yes, I do understand the timing
problems etc, but this exercise is just to document how to compile
Asterisk/Zaptel under Solaris 10/11 so when I do get a real Solaris machine,
I have already sorted out all the issues with installing/compiling etc

Thanks
\R
