asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Asterisk ended with exit status 1

I need some brain-help: I installed the chan_h323 software, and if I start
manually Asterisk either by typing safe_asterisk or simply asterisk, it
works, but it fails to start when I insert safe_asterisk or simply asterisk
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. The asterisk service script also fails.

Actually, I paid Jeremy's company to install the channel, so I would
appreciate some effort on his behalf to understand the problem, because the
computer was not showing this behavior before the event.
