Bug#408407: Problem solved but Ekiga on Debian AMD64 still needs a fix
Like Sven said strace did solve my problem.
This strace line explains it all (strace /usr/bin/ekiga):
open("/usr/lib64/pwlib/", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
The Debian 'libpt-plugins-alsa' package installs the pwlib to..
/usr/lib/pwlib
I fixed this by making a link to this (as root):
cd /usr/lib64/
ln -s /usr/lib/pwlib .
Now Ekiga runs fine on my Debian AMD64 machine.
This is great.. but (I think) the problem still is Ekiga does not run
out of the Box on Debian AMD64 unstable.
Although I am an experienced technical user this problem did took me
quite some time to find out.
This is wat I would like to ask the Debian maintainers and Ekiga
developers (to who I have great respect), please:
1) @Debian: Can the Ekiga or (libpt-plugins-alsa) package for AMD64
users be fixed, for example to configure this link ?
2) @Ekiga: Can this Ekiga error message be made more informative on
those important things (like including the plugin directory where it
searches).

Ton van Oostveen

Interesting, this seems to be a consequence of this snippet of
configure.in:
case $host_cpu:$ekiga_cv_cc_64bit_output in
powerpc64:yes | s390x:yes | sparc64:yes | x86_64:yes)
libname="lib64"
;;
*:*)
libname="lib"
;;
esac
I don't think this change comes from a Debian specific patch.
I agree we should use /usr/lib instead.
This was added in:

* configure.in, lib/Makefile.am, lib/widgets/Makefile.am,
lib/xdap/Makefile.am: Added patch from FrÃ<83>©dÃ<83>©ric Crozat
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for lib64 support. Fixed things so that
it compiles fine with latest CVS of openh323 and pwlib.
The libc should create a /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib symlink, so it
shouldn't have been a problem for you or anyone else. I don't know why
you miss the symlink, and the usage of /usr/lib64 should be changed,
but the program remains usable.
Bye,
