: Are you sure you do not have conflicting versions installed on your
: system ? (like for example some pwlib headers in /usr/include and some
: other headers in /usr/local/include)

	Also - last time I have checked, some part of Ekiga
(was it Opal)? Has explicitly looked for pwlib in ../pwlib (.. being relative
to the build directory of Opal itself), and it took me an insane amount
of time to figure out why does it use an outdated pwlib, even though I had
the up-to-date version correctly installed on my system.

	I would say it is a bug in the built process - it should
not look for anything in .., especially when explicitly told
not to do so by --with options of ./configure.
