When i am starting the zaptel service it gives me following error. I want to use ztdummy (MeetMe) application.

/etc/init.d/zaptel start
Loading zaptel framework: FATAL: Module zaptel not found.
[FAILED]
Waiting for zap to come online…Error: missing /dev/zap!

I had uncommented the ztdummy from Makefile of zaptel sources.

Pls. tell me wht should i do to get the /dev/zap and retify my problem.

Thanks…

Have you installed the devel package for smp ?

what you dont seem to have is the extra directory which has the modules in.

Yes i have install the devel package of kernel smp. But in ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp there is no extra folder in that. How to get that. And pls. let me know wht i am missing.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi

What if any errors were reported when you compiled zaptel.

Did you check the spinlock.h file ?

Might be a known problem when zaptel Makefile tries to install modules to /lib/modules/[major version]/ instead of /lib/modules/[version]-[arch]/. See if you find an extraneous directory /lib/modules/2.6.9/extra/. (My recollection about zaptel 1.2.10 was that it actually installs into misc/ instead of extra/, so check that, too.)
