Hi

I have just updated Ekiga from version 2.0.2. to 2.0.3. The update
ended up by being successful, but I made an observation which I will
bring to your attention:

As part of the process I did a 'make uninstall' in all three 'old'
directories (pwlib-1.10.1, opal-2.2.2 and ekiga-2.0.2) to have a
'clean slate'.

After a successful build I could not run ekiga:
  # ekiga -d 4
ekiga: error while loading shared libraries: libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.1: cannot
     open shared object file: No such file or directory

A 'll /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so*' reveals this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      27 Nov 16 08:37 /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so ->
     libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      27 Nov 16 08:37 /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1 ->
     libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      27 Nov 16 08:37 /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10
     -> libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 3737696 Nov 16 08:37 /usr/lib/libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.2

libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.1 is part of the pwlib-1.10.1 package. I
'fixed' the problem by linking:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.2 libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1.10.1

and then Ekiga ran as it should.

If I hadn't done the 'make uninstall' I would probably never had seen
this behaviour (I wouldn't call it an error).

Best regards,

Bent
