[Resolved Partially] Asterisk 1.4 and Google Talk

adyarte · November 4, 2006, 6:57am

my first post! so please be nice to me

i started playing with asterisk less than a month ago, and have been spending a lot of free time on it, since * is really fascinating. and i’ve been a lurker on the forum and voip-info.org for 3 weeks now. i’ve successfully set up * at home. i use it for outbound/inbound PSTN, 1-800 access and conferencing using meetme.

i read that * 1.4 is compatible with Jabber/Jingle/GTalk and this is really something i’d love to use. so i have * 1.4 running now, and finally figured out how to get chan_gtalk.so loaded . i’ve configured jabber.conf and gtalk.conf as descibed on voip-info.org (voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Google+Talk).

i see these messages on the CLI now, and i haven’t been able to get Asterisk-Gtalk connectivity to work.

*CLI>

these messages just keep appearing every 20s. gnuTLS is installed too, so the error message “gnuTLS not installed” does not make sense to me. i checked config.log after running ./configure while building asterisk, and i can see that the check for “gcc -lgnutls” passed.

any suggestions on what i could check next?

btw, i have been googling for asterisk 1.4 + google talk, but surprisingly, not many hits except for the voip-info.org link, and those on bugs.digium.com. i thought more people would be using it.

thanks, and asterisk rocks!

i had installed iksemel (XML parsing library for Jabber) from an rpm, and i guess it had been compiled without GNUTLS being included. i wrote a test program calling a gnutls function call and it failed.

i downloaded iksemel source, compiled it and ran the same test program again, and this time it returned the int value from the function call that i was expecting.

now, “jabber show connected” shows the google talk account as connected, but i don’t see this buddy online on my other google talk buddy list.

i added an extension in extensions.conf that calls Gtalk/buddy, and as soon as i call this extension, asterisk terminates due to a segmentation fault. it didn’t seem like a core was dumped - i’m still looking for it.

I’ve been having a similar problem, either sending a call to a gtalk user, or sending a call from a gtalk user to a sip client. I’m not having the TLS issue, but the result seems to be the same as Asterisk exits as soon as a call is placed.

I’m inclined to believe this is a bug.

Seems to be caused by a bug in chan_gtalk.c.
Se this page and the two patches you can find there:
bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7764

Patches:
asterisk-gtalk-nofreeafteralloca.patch.txt
asterisk-gtalk-null.patch.txt

Good Luck!

Was getting a similar problem on ubuntu. It keep saying GnuTLS not installed

After much debugging, we checked the config.log for iksemel-1.2
and observed that the following:
checking for libgnutls-config
checking for libgnutls - version >= 0.1.0

were failing

The fix was to download the source for libgnuTLS and issue a recompile

This fixed the gnuTLS not found error and asterisk we were able to log into Gtalk…however, it crashed (core dump) during call establishment as mentioned in this post

the fix for us was to apply all the patches as mentioned here:
bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7764
for / channels / chan_gtalk.c

We have now a successful configuration of asterisk 1.4 on ubuntu that also does gtalk

did u resolve the problem as I am having the same one
when i look at the asterisk logs

Error loading module ‘chan_gtalk’: libiksemel.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sandman · April 16, 2007, 4:29pm

Yeah, I resolved my issue. It took a complete reinstall of asterisk and the addons. Some components were not initially installed correctly. If you check yours thoroughly for all the .so files it is calling for, you’ll probably find that you don’t have some of the required components either.

brosdee · April 16, 2007, 5:47pm

I reinstalled and installed all components under makeselect still no luck. If you could remember any file it asked for i would appreciate

Running_Man · June 30, 2007, 1:26am

Dude,

The solution is copy
libiksemel.a
libiksemel.la
libiksemel.so
libiksemel.so.3
libiksemel.so.3.0.0

to /usr/lib

Done

Does upgrading from 1.4.5 to 1.4.6 fix this bug?
