I managed to install fcpci and it seems to run fine (capiinfo output). Unfortunately i cant compile chan_capi against my Asterisk trunk r240716. Neither the trunk/head nor the 1.1.4 Version compiles. All fail with the following output:

srvpbx:/usr/src/chan-capi-HEAD# make

Please excuse the messed up german output, i have yet to discover how to set a debian box to "german keyboard, everything else english".

I am limited to Asterisk trunk r240716 because i want to evaluate the T.38 <-> T.30 gateway function, which can only be patched into this revision. 
In my opinion there are the following alternatives in order to get the Fritz card running with Asterisk:

A)
Get chan-capi to compile:
Unfortunately my C knowledge seems insufficent for this. I have found out that there is noch rtp.h in the asterisk source dir, only a file named rtp_engine.h. Changing the include accordingly unfortunately only fixes the very first error.
I can't make any sense out of the second error (error: invalid operands to binary == (have "union <anonymous>" and "int")), as, in line 803, the left-hand operand of the == is no union, let alone a anonymous union.
I have already posted this at the chan-capi-users ML, but with no answer so far.

B)
Use a binary chan_capi.so from elsewhere?!
I run Debian 5.0.2 Kernel 2.6.26-2-686. Could i take a compiled chan_capi.so from a machine with a different Asterisk 1.6 Version?

C)
Find another way to use fcpci eith Asterisk.
Is this even possible? With mISDN? ...?

Comments or any other Ideas are very appreciated.

Sincerly
