Interesting, in that this suggests to check out Ekiga from SVN. I've tried "svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/ekiga/trunk ekiga" and compared to what I got from Git. It seems that the SVN repo (r7862) has last been updated on April 15, and that this version corresponds to Git commit 807740337f4d9853878b9f2419abe40ddbe2a406, and that from that point in time on the project has transitioned to using Git (r7862 and older has been imported into Git). This means that the above wiki page should be updated to check out Ekiga from Git instead, as shown on http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Download_Ekiga_sources (ptlib and opal are still tracked in SVN as it seems).

(Also note that you might prefer to check out the "gnome-2-26" branch from Git, as mentioned on Download_Ekiga_sources--although that's the branch I'm currently using and running into sound problems with (haven't checked "master" yet)).

So ekiga is not in the place it should be (which should be where you tried). This sounds to me like you forgot to run the "sudo make install" step, or that this step failed.

Run "sudo make install ; echo $?", this will print the exit code of the make install step in the end, which should be 0 if everything went ok; otherwise, look at the messages from the make install, it should give a clue about what went wrong (disk full, maybe?).

Welcome in the new land.
