You will have to remove these files or at least move them out of their respective directories. remove these files from the /usr/src/asterisk/channels directory: ----------------------------------------------------------------- chan_echolink.c chan_echolink.so chan_irlp.c chan_irlp.so remove these files from the /usr/lib/asterisk/modules ----------------------------------------------------- chan_echolink.so chan_irlp.so remove these files from the /etc/asterisk directory ------------------------------------------------- echolink.conf irlp.conf Also, make sure you have these statements in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf under the [modules] section: noload=chan_echolink.so noload=chan_irlp.so The Asterisk CD ISO's, that most people install, expect that you have a modified USB sound fob (cost is $5) or a URI board(cost is $99) If one of these is not plugged in when you start Asterisk or when the system boots, then the Asterisk server crashes and it becomes a "ZOMBIE" process and Asterisk becomes unsuable. So, if you dont have one of these boards or one of them is not installed and plugged in, or you dont intend to TX/RX using one of these boards, but want to TX/RX using rtpDir bridge, remove /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_usbradio.so, remove /etc/asterisk/usbradio.conf and add the noload statement noload=chan_usbradio.so to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf file The only files that are required are: -------------------------------------- /usr/src/asterisk/channels/chan_rtpdir.c and make sure that in /etc/rpt.conf one of your nodes has this: rxchannel=rtpdir/0.0.0.0:4570:4670 because it will be chan_rtpdir driver and rtpDir(or rtpDir_tm) server that will provide access to IRLP, Echolink, Asterisk and D-Star. If you dont have a URI board or a modified USB sound fob (dongle for Asterisk use) do NOT have any statement like the following in /etc/rpt.conf otherwise your Asterisk server will always crash and become a Linux "ZOMBIE" process which is useful as a bag of hammers. rxchannel = Radio/usb The above rxchannel statement must be removed or replaced with rxchannel=rtpdir/0.0.0.0:4570:4670 Then rebuild the Asterisk server from within the /usr/src/asterisk directory, by executing these commands: gmake gmake install 73, de KI4LKF
