This is a very frustrating issue, I've payed for an Asterisk G729a codec 
license and deployed the associated g729 executable which Digium supplied for 
use with an Asterisk 1.2 uClibc system. I've now upgraded to Asterisk 1.4 just 
to find out that Digium have not complied an executable for use with Asterisk 
1.4. (not to provide an upgrade path is pretty poor)

Try googling "For those of you who want to test g729a" and folow your nose, 
just remember g729a is a non- free codec and you need to look at the associated 
legalities before using an alternate g729 codec (be warned, may be illegal in 
your country if you don't pay the associated royalty fee)

Oh... sorry.

I read more into it after sending the email.  Thanks for the clear picture.

Cheers,

You don't understand:  it's not compatible with Astlinux (which uses
uClibc) because it was built to run in a glibc environment.

If it worked at all, it would be against huge odds and then only by
fortunate accident.
