What does "ls -lR /usr/lib/ptlib-*" show?  Do you have libasound2-dev 
installed?
If not, you should install it and recompile ptlib, opal, ekiga.
If yes, do you have the output of ptlib's configure?

This is interesting.  Could you tell us what sudo make uninstall prints 
(sud make uninstall 2>&1|tee output, and send us output)?
