I understand this :
checking for OPAL... 
configure: error: Package requirements (opal >= 3.4.2) were not met:
Package speexdsp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `speexdsp.pc'
Package 'speexdsp', required by 'opal', not found

Apparently, pkg-config detects that ekiga needs opal; and pkg-config detects that opal 
needs speexdsp, which it does not find.

As we do not explicitely require speexdsp, I think it is a normal behavior for pkg-config to 
check for deps of deps.
