Hi Brian, You are correct, the issue you're encountering is due to Wheezy running a 3.2.x Linux kernel. The Zaptel drivers included with ACID/XIPAR implement the older ioctl() calls which expect the "big kernel lock" syntax. This is obsolete and was removed as of kernel version 2.6.39. No officially supported code that I'm aware of has a resolution for this issue--even though the patches required to resolve this issue are fairly simple. Currently, moving back to Debian Squeeze (rather that Wheezy) will fix this for now, since it uses a kernel version derivative of 2.6.32.

Greetings all, it's literally been 7-8 years since I've been building repeaters with app_rpt, and the project has certainly come a long way.

At the time i last had it going on Debian with a quad PCI card.

I've found some older documentation on compiling it from source on debian now that it's a fork of the main asterisk project. http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2011-February/002266.html

This link has a script which I've taken a look at, and suspect my issues compiling zaptel/asterisk are kernel 3.2 related. I had to modify zaptel/kernel/zconfig.h to #include <generated/autoconf.h> in the headers

Now I'm seeing the following error about what looks like an initialization of an ioctl variable.

As I'm not a kernel programer, any idea what this might mean? Anyone else do this, and maybe I missed it in the archives?

Thanks,
