[Linphone-users] Configure error in ubuntu

[Sushma Natarajan]

Hi,
I am trying to configure linphone 1.7.1 on ubuntu and I get a libSDL error. 
Has anyone been able to configure on ubuntu successfully?

Attached is the error:
address@hidden:/home/sushma/linphone-1.7.1# ./configure

configure: error: Could not find libsdl headers and library. This is 
mandatory for video support
configure: error: ./configure failed for mediastreamer2
address@hidden:/home/sushma/linphone-1.7.1#

The configure works when I run it with the --disable-video. It gives me an 
error though in this case that it cannot find db2html. But I did make and 
make install without any problem.  When I run with the configure with the 
disable-video option I cant see to run linphone. The only thing I can run 
are linphonec and simphonec from the command line.

My questions are the following:
How can I get SDL for ubuntu? I tried it from 
http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/warty/perl/libsdl-perl but this didnt work.
How can I get linphone to run with the --disable-video option?
Thanks,
Sushma
