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.
