Hi guys,

I'm just attempting a refresh of an Asterisk system and I've decided to try out the latest trixbox release (2.8.0.3). I've got everything installed and I've just reached the point of installing my Eicon / Dialogic Diva Server BRI-2M-PCI (rev 1) card.

After a bit of scuffling which resulted in me realising that I have to use the 8.5 release of the Diva Linux drivers, because my card is a revision 1 card which appears to be unsupported in 9+, I've finally got the card displaying stats when typing "capiinfo" at the command prompt.

My problem is in getting chan_capi working in trixbox / Asterisk. I think this is because it compiled against Asterisk 1.4 rather than Asterisk 1.6. I downloaded chan_capi 1.1.4 from ftp://ftp.chan-capi.org/chan-capi and did a "make". The first thing was a complaint at the lack of /usr/include/asterisk. I narrowed this down to a lack of the asterisk devel package.

Here, I think, is the problem. Running yum install asterisk-devel installs headers for Asterisk 1.4 and NOT Asterisk 1.6. Therefore when I subsequently run "make", it's detecting asterisk 1.4 and compiling against that.

Does anyone know why I don't get the headers for Asterisk 1.6 when calling "yum install asterisk-devel".

Would really appreciate any insight.

Thanks,

Mark.

It's actually in a separate package called asterisk16-devel

Hi all,

We just cracked this one - quite simple when you know!

The package I should have been installing was "asterisk16-devel" so a "yum install asterisk16-devel" later, run make, make install against the chan capi directory I downloaded and asterisk is up and running.

Hope that helps anyone else who misses the asterisk16-devel package (which is easy to do when you're yum searching for asterisk-devel).

Cheers,

Mark.
