Gunturi expounded in part:
As suggested I
checked for duplicate ptlib ( using synaptic package manager).
For some strange reason it is showing only libpt2.10.4 and
libpt-dev as installed. There is no ptlib-2.10.9 according to
synaptic. It is as though the entire install I did of ptlib
2.10.9 vanished! So I repeated the ptlib2.10.9 again just now
using the following steps:
1. downloaded ptlib-2.10.9.tar.xz from ekiga site
2. extracted to get the folder ptlib-2.10.9
3. opened terminal; cd to folder ptlib-2.10.9
4. ./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
5. all the steps seem to have gone without any error (at least
none that I could see).
6. Checked again using synaptic. Lo and behold it still shows
only libpt2.10.4 and libpt-dev as installed!No sign of 2.10.9
anywhere!
What am I doing wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, but installing with make has no
effect on your distro's package manager. For synaptic to know about
your install, you would need to create a deb package and install it
with apt-get or synaptic.
If you download the source for the existing deb package, you can
probably just update a few versions, put the source tars in the
right place, and rebuild to get the updated package. At least, I
usually have success doing that with RPM packages for Fedora.
