Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga does not start

[Eugen Dedu <Eugen Dedu pu-pm univ-fcomte fr>]

This is really interesting.

First, move /usr/lib/opal-3.6.2/codecs/video/h264_video_pwplugin_helper 
to another directory, so that it would b=not be found, and restart ekiga 
-d 4.

Second, remove the file where it was and start ekiga through gdb, as 
shown at
