GNU/Linux – finally it’s Free software

Some ancient source code given away freely by Sun in 1984 turned out to have a non-Free-software licence all these years, upsetting the licensing purity of glibc and everything built with it.

New setup: Asterisk, Freepbx and HFC ISDN cards

Admin section of Freepbx

Admin section of Freepbx

After some hours of late night hacking I’m finally running an Ubuntu 9.10 with Asterisk, Freepbx and my HFC ISDN cards. I took a long time to figure out, how to get the ISDN cards running with dahdi instead of misdn. But now it is working.

It is a steep learning curve from asterisk 1.2 to 1.6, oh yes. But it is worth the effort.

pear fails… Update

I’m hunting a bug on a CentOS 5.3 installation. If I run pear, it just exists direclty. Even pear help quits cowardly. The only hint is in the logfile:

php: PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getMessage() on a non-object in /usr/share/pear/pearcmd.php on line 321

Installed version of php is:
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Jan 13 2010 17:09:42)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies with eAccelerator v0.9.5.2, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator

pear is: php-pear-1.4.9-6.el5

Somebody have an idea?

[UPDATE]: As always, restart from the beginning helps. I did uninstall the rpm package by yum remove php-pear and downloaded the go-pear via wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear. The installation was triggered with php ./go-pear and I got a working environment again.
