This was neatly taken care of by my doing a 'make uninstall' (followed
by a 'make clean' to be sure).

Opal compiles without a hitch - it has never given me problems (knock on wood).

Ekiga behaved differently this time. First it complained about a
missing ebook, but I got around this by:
export EDS_LIBS=/opt/gnome/lib
export EDS_CFLAGS=" "

Next complaint from Ekiga:

checking for AVAHI... configure: error: Package requirements
(avahi-client >= 0.6 avahi-glib >= 0.6) were not met:

No package 'avahi-client' found
No package 'avahi-glib' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH  etc, etc...

I tried to do the same trick as above with the AVAHI_CFLAGS and
AVAHI_LIBS variables, which gave me a 'clean' configure, but when I
started the compilation with 'make' it (of course) ended up with some
errors about some missing avahi-clien include files missing.

Is Avahi supposed to be part of a standard Suse 10.1 installation? If
not how do I get around this problem. Avahi is not mentioned in the
FAQ as a required package.

Best regards,

Bent
