I'm not a SuSe Linux user, but I suggest building latest version from SVN and see how it works.
Do you have any warnings when you compile? Here is the way I compile: ./bootstrap.sh ./configure --with-mysql --disable-docs make cd gw ./bearerbox -v 3 /path/to/kannel.conf I've just tested on my old squeeze machine latest SVN it gives some errors: sh-4.1$ ./bearerbox --version Kannel bearerbox version `svn-r5166M'.
