[Ekiga-list] problems with x264 compatibility

[Gerhard Stengel <Gerhard Stengel gmx net>]

Hello,

I recently tried to use ekiga 3.2.6 for a video call (to counterpath's X-Lite on Mac), but ekiga unfortunately always 
crashed when the other side answered the call.

In ekiga -d 4 output I couldn't see anything special when it happened, but at the beginning of the log there are some 
problems with the h264 codec. Seems that libx264.so.75 doesn't have a function that's needed.

ekiga -d 4

To which x264 version is ekiga/opal compatible? 

I have opal 3.6.6 and ptlib 2.6.5 installed.
