Asterisk 1.8 No channel type registered for 'Gtalk'

installed ASTERISK 1.8 to use GVOICE.

I get this error

[Oct 31 20:31:14] WARNING[4025]: channel.c:5353 ast_request: No channel type registered for ‘Gtalk’
[Oct 31 20:31:14] WARNING[4025]: app_dial.c:2030 dial_exec_full: Unable to create channel of type ‘Gtalk’ (cause 66 - Channel not implemented)
== Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)
– Auto fallthrough, channel ‘SIP/222-00000008’ status is ‘CHANUNAVAIL’

How do I get the necessary channels …

When I do a core show channeltype - GTALK is not shown

=====================================
I had same issue with AsteriskNow 1.7.1 so I did a full install of Asterisk 1.8.

Not an * expert, but Gtalk is not included by default in Asterisk 1.6/1.8. I think you have to compile Asterisk and use make menuselect to add additional channels. You can find some useful info here and here.

Thanks for update. I will try this.
