asterisk users - Jul 2008 - Zaptel won´t recognizes sources installed

I?m installing zaptel and asterisk on the CEntos 3.9.
I?ve installed the kernel-devel which on the kernel 2.4.21 is called
kernel-source, but when I run the pre requisites test, the zaptel won?t
recognize it.
Can I rename the kernel-source to kernel-devel? Should I try to install the
zaptel anyways? Last time I did it, the make comand didn?t work because of
the missing devel files.

Thanks,

Felipe

I'm not sure if kernel-source provides the same as kernel-devel .
kernel-devel provides a partial kernel tree that is already configured,
and hence external modules could be built with it just as well as with a
fully-built kernel source tree.

With kernel-source I suspect you'll also have to configure (copy the
respective .config file) and run at least a partial build (I don't know
if theer's a special target for that in 2.4).

I suspect that this is the case because there are several kernel packages 
with several configrations in 3.9: kernel, kernel-BOOT, kernel-hugemem . 
But there is just one kernel-source. I don't have a test-system to try
it on.

While kernel 2.4 has been removed from DAHDI, it is still supoprted in
DAHDI. Some bugs for 2.4 kernel systems were reported and resolved on on
older slackwares, Debian Sarge, and, of course, CentOS 3.x .
Specifically one of the many RPM packages Axel Thimm maintains is
Zaptel, and is also vs. RHEL3: http://atrpms.net/dist/el3/zaptel/ .
He reported several breakages in the past (which were fixed). I see that the 
latest version there is 1.4.11 .

It is stil supported in Zaptel, that is.
