Bug 223633 – net-misc/asterisk-1.2.27 generates "undefined symbol: speex_preprocess_ctl" message with speex use flag and media-libs/speex-1.2_beta3_p2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Brendan Kirby 2008-05-26 02:12:22 UTC]

After upgrading speex and re-installing asterisk, my asterisk server wouldn't start.  I was seeing the following in the /var/log/asterisk/messages log file:
May 25 17:59:36 WARNING[29211] loader.c: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_speex.so: undefined symbol: speex_preprocess_ctl
May 25 17:59:36 WARNING[29211] loader.c: Loading module codec_speex.so failed!

I read forum post http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-641408.html which said to add -lspeexdsp to a configure file.  I sort of did that by running the command:
ebuild /afs/is/portage/tree/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild unpack 

Changing the asterisk source with the following patch:

Then, re-compiling asterisk.  After doing that, it starts correctly.

Reassigning back to herd since Stefan has been retired as a Gentoo developer (#27693).

Since LIBSPEEX has that "+=" the following should work:

emake LIBSPEEX=-lspeexdsp <blah>

Anyone is patching the ebuild to make it working out-of-the-box? This problem is still present and should be corrected into the ebuild. I don't think I have enough skills on ebuild to do it myself. It would be greatly appreciated if someone would care about it.

Daniel, 
I don't know how to use emake either but I could figure out how to solve the problem from the first comment and the ebuild manual here: 

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.2/handbook-sparc.xml?part=3&chap=6

These are the steps I took

0) find where the file asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild is in your system (usually is in 
usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/ otherwise replace it's path below accordingly)

1) ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild unpack 

2) fix the file /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/asterisk-1.2.27/work/asterisk-1.2.27/codecs/Makefile by either applying the patch above or simply editing it and replacing each instance of the line 
   LIBSPEEX+=-lspeex -lm
with this line
   LIBSPEEX+=-lspeex -lspeexdsp -lm


3) ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild compile 

4) ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild install

5) ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild qmerge

6) ebuild /usr/portage/net-misc/asterisk/asterisk-1.2.27.ebuild clean


After this 6 steps now asterisks starts. Hope that helps

Francesc

Simply use workaround from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206463 

Try:

LIBSPEEX="-lspeexdsp" emerge -v asterisk

So this bug should be marked as duplicate of bug #206463 ;)
