Thanks, Yannick. but that's not so easy. I am using
Ubuntu Dapper and this version is the latest that it
recognises (at least for my present list of
repositories). I notice that the version available
from ekiga.org is for Feisty. Would that one actually
run on Dapper if I installed it? Or would it be better
to download source and build it myself? I have a
little experience with building packages (though not
on Ubuntu) but I don't want to do anything that
involves upgrading libraries. You can really louse up
your system doing that kind of thing!
