asterisk users - Feb 2006 - [slackware 10.2 and TE205P] Unknown signalling method 'pri_cpe'

hi

after some testing with A@H, i've decided to install my asterisk
server on a slackware (because it's my favourite distro and it is
still suggested here
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Linux+Slackware)

, so, i've installed the last 10.2 release, and i've recompiled the
2.6.15.4 kernel.

then i've downloaded asterisk1.2.4 and zaptel1.2.4

i load module zaptel and wct2xxp (i've got a TE205P)
this is my lsmod:

root@asterisk:/data/programmi/asterisk1.2.4/asterisk-1.2.4# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
wct4xxp               106048  -
zaptel                222948  -

and this are the channel in
root@asterisk:~# cat /proc/zaptel/1

          24 TE2/0/1/24 Clear
          25 TE2/0/1/25 Clear
          26 TE2/0/1/26 Clear
          27 TE2/0/1/27 Clear
          28 TE2/0/1/28 Clear
          29 TE2/0/1/29 Clear
          30 TE2/0/1/30 Clear
          31 TE2/0/1/31 Clear

the problem is that when i strars asterisk with asterisk -cvvvv

 [chan_zap.so] => (Zapata Telephony)

the strange thing is that i've copied zapata.conf and zaptel.conf from
the previos a@h installation ...

That's your problem.  You don't have libpri installed.
