Hi Pedro,

This is because boost has not had a reliable check for its libraries. 
To solve it, look at the m4 directory of ekiga.  The file 
ax_boost_signals.m4 needs to be updated to a new version.  Take the new 
version from 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf-archive.git;a=blob_plain;f=m4/ax_boost_signals.m4;hb=5da17fc1eedffcfadc2a7bfbb406bdc177663882 
and overwrite it in m4 directory.  Tell us if this works (it should).
