kiax crashes on dial, undefined symbol: speex_preprocess_state_init

[Sybren Stüvel]

Kiax starts successfully, and allows registration with my Asterisk 1.4 server. However, when I try to dial a number it crashes. Here is the log output:

kiax: symbol lookup error: kiax: undefined symbol: speex_preprocess_state_init

I'm using kiax-0.8.51.dfsg-2-1 on Ubuntu 8.10. Except for the console output, there is no error message from Kiax what so ever - it just disappears.

My account was configured to prefer the GSM codec. Since my Asterisk server can also use GSM, I'm amazed that an error about Speex pops up. I have tried installing the "speex" package, but that didn't change the situation.

Kiax does initiate the call before it crashes, as the dialled number starts to ring. Of course, once answered the callee hears nothing, since Kiax is already pushing up the daisies.

I have tried recompiling the kiax package, but failed. I started with "sudo apt-get build-dep kiax" then "apt-get source kiax". Running "fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b" gave me the error "iaxwrapper.cpp:220: error: ‘AUDIO_INTERNAL’ was not declared in this scope". The full build output is attached.

I have the same problem.
It login in my Asterisk PBX ok, but every time i trie to dial one number it crash:

kiax: symbol lookup error: kiax: undefined symbol: speex_preprocess_state_init

The problem is that is the same version in all releases so i can't try another version of kiax.
I am in Intrepid, so i will try in Hardy to see if this bug still happen.

It would be interesting to solve this bug so it is the only IAX softphone in Ubuntu...

[erlguta (gonzalomarcote)]

I can confirm that this only happens in Intrepid.
I have one PC with Hardy and kiax works ok.

Just a side note: Kiax 2 is a complete rewrite of Kiax 0.8.5x and seems to run without errors on Intrepid. As of October it is being evaluated for inclusion in the Debian repository. In the meantime, the Linux binary may be downloaded directly. I'm not sure about dependencies; everything it needs seems to have already been on my system by the time I downloaded it.

The project homepage is at Forschung-Direkt:

The Linux binary is hosted on SourceForge. The project homepage has a link under the "Download" section.
