Nice example David ! Though, rather then removing/renaming res_fax_spandsp.so, using "noload => res_fax_spandsp.so" in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf would be the proper method. (You can use "show-union" to see the /oldroot/mnt/asturw/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_fax_spandsp.so (.wh., etc.) that could be removed to return your res_fax_spandsp.so file.)
Possibly having both res_fax_spandsp.so and res_fax_digium.so would still work? it would be good to test that. At least use noload to disable. We should put together a wiki entry for this after we get the details ironed out. Great to hear this works. Nice to know glibc binary support is useful. :-) Lonnie On Jan 28, 2012, at 4:51 PM, David Kerr wrote: > I successfully installed the free Fax for Asterisk from Digium today on my > Alix 2c3.
