zaptel error at installation on ubuntu

Question

I am trying to install zaptel and libri in Ubuntu. As I've understood asterisk needs these files if I want to configure a conference call over sip.

I've downloaded zaptel and after make command I have the following errors:

/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/pciradio.c: In function ‘pciradio_start_dma’:
/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/pciradio.c:1701: error: implicit declaration of function ‘set_current_state’
/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.12.1/kernel/pciradio.c:1701: error: ‘TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE’ undeclared (first use in this function)

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zaptel-1.4.12.1'

Need help. Appreciate

Answer 1

Zaptel is now called DAHDI [1]. Try installing it from the package manager ( apt-get install dahdi ).

Also, 1.4.12.1 is an old version, if you don't have a specific need for that version, just use what is present in your distribution.

Answer 2

This question is probably better on serverfault (and I can't seem to comment on Andrea's answer) but you might be better off using app_confbridge in Asterisk 10, if in your distribution. Then you will not need DAHDI (formerly Zaptel) installed at all to run a conference call.
