Cant Load chan_h323.so

Hi, i have the same problem, but of different sort. i installed h323 support for asterisk by installing openh323 and pwlib packages. i dont know there versions. Now when i start the asterisk server, this error msg shows up:

[size=150][b][chan_h323.so]Jun 21 11:47:49 WARNING[2138]: loader.c:325 __load_resource: libh323_linux_x86_r.so.1.13.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Jun 21 11:47:49 WARNING[2138]: loader.c:554 load_modules: Loading module chan_h323.so failed[/b]![/size]

i think there is some path error. and also i cant find the h323.conf file or configuration file for h323 if it has some other name.

plz help
thanx in advance

obvious question, does the lib it’s croaking on actually exist in your system ?

[size=150]How should i know that?[/size]

are you shouting at me ? it’s quite simple, does “libh323_linux_x86_r.so.1.13.5” exist in your filesystem ?

you could use whereis libh323_linux_x86_r.so.1.13.5, or maybe find / -name libh323*

Well i used the second command:
find / -name libh323*

and it gave me this output:

/root/.Trash/openh323/lib/libh323_linux_x86_d_s.a

the one in bold letters is the one required here. so, with ur help, now i know it does exist in my system. but still i dont know how to fix the problem. how to make asterisk search for it? HELP

when you compiled the source, did you also do a “make install” ? libs aren’t going to be loaded from the source directories, they need to be in wherever your system expects to find libs.

what’s the URL you got it from, is there some instructions/help ? what steps have you taken to get this far ?

[size=150]i did ‘make opt’ for both pwlib and openh323
and then ‘make opt’ for asterisk/channels/h323/
and after that ‘make install’ in the main asterisk directory i.e. /usr/src/asterisk-1.2.8/[/size]

astrecipes.net/?q=astrecipes/com … with+oh323

I have partially followed this article, i.e. i havent applied the patches…i dont know how to do that.

help help help!!!

sorry, you “partially followed” a how-to that implies it’s very important to follow particular steps exactly ?

if i get a chance later, and no-one has posted from their experience with this channel driver, i’ll have an attempt to install the app on my spare Asterisk box.

what versions of pwlib, oh323 and asterisk are you using ? (i know you said in the OP that you don’t know, but you’ll have to find out !)

Well then i will try from scratch again. then we’ll talk again

Thanx for ur help…and watchout for another reply post from me

Do anybody know how to uninstall asterisk and everything related to it. i want to start installing asterisk again from scratch. i think i hace messed up with some settings and now astrisk does not start.

plz help
