Hi all. I'm a very computer literate person, but an a bit of a noob when it comes to linux etc. I've a got a brand new PC. I've stuck in a TDM400P, with one FXO port. I've installed Fedora Core 3. Everything good so far. Now for Asterisk. GO to a shell then... md src cd src I'm now at /home/alan/src. Type the appropriate cvs commands (as per asterisk.org), and now i have the directories: zaptel libpri asterisk asterisk-addons asterisk-sounds Now I type cd zaptel make clean; make install cd ../libpri make clean; make install cd ../asterisk make clean; make install Err... Now what? Any references to step by step instructions on how to take it from here? How can I even tell if there's been a compilation problem? Alan

> How can I even tell if there's been a compilation problem?The last line in any make-based build will tell you of an error if one occurred. At this point, type "asterisk" and then "asterisk -vvvvr" at a command line. The first one starts Asterisk and detaches it as a daemon (background process), and the second attaches to the running server as a CLI (command-line interface). At this point it will depend on your particular situation, in terms of getting it to do what you have in mind. The Wiki is helpful, and searching the archives for similar questions you may have is also helpful. That link provided in another reply works too. Or you can just ask, and hope Steve Critchfield doesn't see your question (JUST KIDDING!!! :p) Greg
