That function has only been introduced with glib 2.12. Did you compile
ekiga yourself? If not, then puppy linux has a bug in its
dependencies, because it should require you to also install the
updated glib package.

You either need to find an ekiga package which was compiled against an
older glib library like the one you have installed, or try to update
your system to glib/gtk 2.12.
