it seems very easy to install codec G729 however when I tried it did not work.
uname -a
asterisk -rx “core show version”
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Asterisk 1.8 64 bit intel machine
cd /usr/src
wget http://asterisk.hosting.lv/bin/codec_g729-ast18-gcc4-glibc-x86_64-pentium4.so
cp codec_g729-ast18-gcc4-glibc-x86_64-pentium4.so /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/codec_g729.so
chmod +x /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules/codec_g729.so
asterisk -rc “module load codec_g729.so”
Error: I dont have lib64/asterisk/modules, I have lib/asterisk/modules hence I downloaded in lib/asterisk
after restarting asterisk got the following error.
asterisk -rvvv
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)
