I now actually checked what's going on and noticed three problems under RHEL4/GNOME2.8: 1) libebook was really missing but it is available also for RHEL 4 in the evolution-data-server and evolution-data-server-devel RPMs. So not a problem after all. 2) Opal compilation errors were caused by unexpected logic related to PWLIBDIR. I assumed that PWLIBDIR must point to the pwlib installation directory, not to pwlib source directory. configure found system pwlib which was too old but configure did not abort, so I first saw just the compilation errors. With PWLIBDIR pointing to pwlib-1.10.0 sources opal compiles ok. 3) Ekiga does not compile under RHEL 4 because it ships with GTK 2.4 and Ekiga uses the following three GTK 2.6 methods: gtk_combo_box_get_active_text gtk_combo_box_set_focus_on_click gtk_file_chooser_button_new_with_backend These are used only in few occasions in the files src/gui/druid.cpp and src/gui/preferences.cpp. When commented out, Ekiga compiles and links ok. I fully understand if you do not want to create additional maintenance burden by supporting older GTK 2.4 based systems but since the changes required seem to be rather minimal and RHEL 4 will never get GTK 2.6 it seems that those modifications would be the only way to use Ekiga on "enterprise" environment. I have never coded GTK code so of course changes might actually require a lot of work. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
