Hey folks,

OpenBSC seems to work without errors but to connect it with asterisk I need mISDN, mISDNuser and LCR.

LCR doesn't seem to work. Here what I get as I searched for the problems:

lcradmin state

Failed to connect to socket "/var/tmp/LCR.socket".
Is LCR running?

lcr query

** LCR Version 1.7

LCR: Starting daemon.
GSM is enabled, but not compiled. Use --with-gsm-bs or --with-gsm-ms while configure!

I installed LCR in the following way:

./configure --prefix=/usr/src/lcr --with-gsm-bs
make
make install

There were no errors after configure but <make> and <make install> showed following errors:

I have read that with Asterisk 1.8 and LCR 1.7 and the new OpenBSC chan_lcr isn't used and there is no gsm.conf-file needed. But I'm not sure and the most manuals and HotTo's I've found in the internet are old.

(I am working with Ubuntu 11.10 and Kernel 3.0.22, mISDN is integrated with Kernel, mISDN_info works, mISDNuser is installed, OpenBSC gives no errors, Asterisk works with Twinkle since a few months without errors, I use a Cologne Chip HFC-E1 card which works with hfcmulti driver.)

It would be appreciate if someone of you can help me in this case. I also searched for a solution in this german forum: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de
(I also tried to work with Dahdi/zaphfc and Dahdi/cwain but they aren't recommended for using an HFC-E1 evalutaion board which is noch from Junghanns.)

Best regards
Ellen
