[Linphone-users] Problem compiling linphone

[Hubert Kiyimba]

I am a fresher at using linphone. On configuring linphone with ./configure, 
I get a message informing me that the gnome interface is disabled because 
glib was disabled or glib2 was not installed.
Below is the message. 

config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating docs/Makefile
config.status: creating osipua-config.h
config.status: osipua-config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
Linphone build configuration ended.
* Compilation of gnome interface is disabled because glib support was 
disabled or glib-2.0 was not found.
* Console interface will be compiled.
Now type 'make' to compile, and then 'make install' as root to install it. 

I installed glib and Glib2 plus gnome but I still got the above message. I 
went ahead to type make then make install. The make install gave the 
following error message. 

ERROR: Could not load ~/.linphonec or ~/.gnome2/linphone . Please edit 
example configuration file
/usr/share/linphonec/linphonec and copy it to ~/.linphonec 

Part of the " make install" compilation is shown below

You hust have to configure local address, username, and hostname.
Alternatively, you can run the GTK+ version of linphone to configure it once 
time
and then retry linphonec. 

may someone give me some advice.
