I CANT EVEN GET THE LATEST VERSION TO INSTALL! AND I may not know Unix that well, but I can at least get around (for regular easy stuff). I like Ekiga, and have recommended it to others, but my 2.0.1 freezes A LOT. I wanted to upgrade to 2.0.5 since you said it's ready and good. I tried, cannot get the thing to install, no matter I do. It always wants a version of pwlib that I don't have. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, used cvs sources, sources from Jan, and finally the sources displayed for download on the website. I've gotten help from another member on this list. This is really too much time wasted, and now I feel like a dummy since I can't get it to work. I guess I should wait for the official ubuntu package to update. I'm too stupid to install it myself. > >From my point of view, your problem is an ALSA problem, and it gets > annoying that users are making the confusion between ALSA problems and > Ekiga problems. > THIS is PRECISELY why it's going to be hard to "spread ekiga". MOST ppl don't even know what ALSA is, nor cares. They just want a sipphone that WORKS. You "getting annoyed" is not right. Explain it on the website! Why do other softphones work out of the box for them but not ekiga? Have a clear installation guide or faq! You cannot blame the users, most have not even taken a cs course, let alone done a thesis on it. Pls rethink this. _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
