I am new at this. I have read "Asterisk: The Future of Telephony" and have installed AsteriskNOW (beta 4, due to the dual processor problem in beta 5). The GUI interface does not seem to provide the capability that I need, although I have modified the *.conf files to successfully create what I need. Given this, I would like to install Asterisk on a distro. I am most familiar with SuSE, and have the OpenSuSE 10.2 distro. I downloaded asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz, zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz, and libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz. I have untarred these, and have tried to run make. When I run "make clean" on zaptel, it give me an error about an included makefile not having a clean target. When I attempt to run make on Asterisk, the "make clean" runs, but when I try make, it gives me a message saying I have to run configuration script first. If I run "make config", it give me a message that the distribution is not supported. Has anyone put Asterisk on the 10.2 distro? Any pointers?

We're have a couple of ISDN lines fed into each a TA card with a Cologne HFC chip. What you need to do is configure the before you jump to trying to build asterisk. This means running "./configure <options>" in the asterisk source dir. It doesn't look like the README has been updated to include the configure step. /Per Jessen, Z?rich -- ENIDAN Technologies GmbH - managed email security.

Malcom: Great to know there are more loyal SuSE users like myself! After you install your kernel source have you tried: # cd /usr/src/linux # make cloneconfig # make prepare-all The problem is SuSE does not provide the kernel headers, you need to create them yourself. Of course this assumes that you have read the documentation with care and have all the required packages. I have been using 10.1 + Asterisk 1.2 for quite a while now and have not had any problems. I have used 10.2 but not on production servers yet. If you find packages that aren't in the factory distribution then check out the Packman repository, although under 1.2.x there aren't any dependencies that fall under that category -- I'd avoid using anything but the factory and update repositories on a production system unless you absolutely have to.
