chan_mobile.so unable to load

Asterisk Asterisk Support

First of all, yes I’m a n00b when it comes to asterisk but:

Seems very simple to scan/pair etc. using bluetooth in linux but when in the Asterisk CLI, 'module load chan_mobile.so" doesn’t work. Also, obviously if I ‘mobile search’ from the CLI, it says no such command.

It’s fairly obvious to me that the module simply isn’t there but I’ve gone through 3 versions of asterisk and about 25 safari windows tabbed into oblivion and I can’t seem to locate the module its self.

According to the Asterisk 1.8 documentation, you simply configure /etc/asterisk/mobile.conf , which I’ve done but either way the module doesn’t appear to be installed with 1.8. Again I may be a noob but I’m just looking for some advice on how I can install this module so that I can use a BT device as my FXO.

I’ve been trying to work it out for about 40 hours so far, so if you’ve got any tips I would really appreciate it.

Modules are only included if their pre-requesites are available when asterisk is built.

If you are using a package, take this up with the packager.

If you are builidng from source, look at menuconfig’s display when trying to enable this module to find any missing dependency. Of course it may have been excluded without any missing dependency.

Alright, thanks David. I’ve asked a few of my friends about it and everyone seems to believe it’s an issue with dependencies. So I’m going to try and work it out through menuconfig. Thanks again for the quick reply/not reaming me out for being a noob.

Alright I was able to get everything working in menuconfig , the dependencies appear to be met:

[size=75]XXX 1. app_addon_sql_mysql
[] 2. app_saycountpl
XXX 3. cdr_addon_mysql
[] 4. chan_mobile
[] 5. chan_ooh323
[] 6. format_mp3
XXX 7. res_config_mysql

cd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
ls | grep mobile = chan_mobile.so[/size]

So I know it’s installed this time, however when I go to the CLI and 'module load chan_mobile.so’
Unable to load module chan_mobile.so
Command 'module load chan_mobile.so ’ failed.

I’m paired with the server and the server can see me over BT.

[size=75]/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf is configured

hcitool dev

Devices:
hci0 00:XX:83:XX:5D:XX

hcitool scan

00:XX:11:XX:22:XX BlackBerry 9800[/size]

Any other ideas?
