Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Hard time compiling ekiga

[Luis Menina <liberforce freeside fr>]

Yay !
Thanks a lot for your help :-)
I cleaned everything with make clean, removed the bits that remained 
installed in <prefix>/lib/pwlib and <prefix>/lib/ptlib, then erased and 
built everything again.

I still had the GConf problem at runtime. In fact, I run ekiga from 
another user's session, so the gconf daemon of the user runing ekiga was 
not run, but your hint did the trick. However, I really think ekiga 
should not segfault on such behavior, but use g_error to print an error 
message instead. I'll send a little patch for this.

I can now get back to work :-)

Many thanks,

Luis
