After moving h264_video_pwplugin_helper I got this:

ekiga -d 4 | tee ekiga_start.log

I will try running through gdb tomorrow.

This is really interesting.

First, move /usr/lib/opal-3.6.2/codecs/video/h264_video_pwplugin_helper to another directory, so that it would b=not be found, and restart ekiga -d 4.

Second, remove the file where it was and start ekiga through gdb, as shown at http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Debugging_Ekiga#How_to_get_a_stack_backtrace_from_a_crash

Hello,

I have compiled Ekiga (latest version) on Zenwalk Snapshot. Compilation
went
on properly without any error message. But when I start the program,
nothing
happens. What should I do?

Is the process running or does it finish immediately?

Start ekiga with -d 4 and send us the output.
