Well, first libpt and pwlib are the same. I don't know why there is 2
names for the same thing, but this is the exact same thing.

pwlib-1.10.5 is part of Ekiga 2.0.7. This is an upgrade, and there is no
repository for 2.0.7 (I wish...hum).

The process you should follow is this one (in this order):

1. pwlib 1.10.5:
http://www.ekiga.org/admin/downloads/latest/fedora/FC5/pwlib-1.10.5-0.fc5.i686.rpm

2. opal 2.2.6:
http://www.ekiga.org/admin/downloads/latest/fedora/FC5/opal-2.2.6-0.fc5.i686.rpm

3. Ekiga 2.0.7
http://www.ekiga.org/admin/downloads/latest/fedora/FC5/ekiga-2.0.7-1.fc5.i686.rpm

You're done.

Now, give it a try, open a Terminal and type: 

$ ekiga

If you have an error about GConf, this will likely be solved by doing
this: 
$ killall -9 gconfd-2

Then restart ekiga in a Terminal by typing: $ ekiga
