Let me start by saying I have many year of IT under my belt but most with Windows. I have about 15 linux servers running small appliance apps.
I consider my self new to Linux so when replying don’t assume I already know what you are talking about… Thanks
Here is the problem. I have openSuse 10.2 on a box. I am trying to get Asterisk up and running. I do not have an special hardware card right now as I am IP trunking with a third party provider. When I try to build the zaptel 1.4.2.1 source It ends with errors.If I try to rebuild I get different errors. I am using the build instructions from the. Asterisk O’Reilly PDF book.
I have been going at this for almost 10 hours now and I have run out of ideas. Please help
Here is the build outputs. I placed the 
icon at the lines the errors keep occuring.
