I want to know, if the linphone 3.7.0 source package is a joke?
Previously I have tried to install
linphone on ubuntu 12.04. Never got it working.
What I want to know, is linphone only
for computer professionals? Because I am not.
This time I downloaded linphone 3.7.0
linux source package.
I read the README.
I know how to use the synaptic package
manager (spm) and the terminal. So I started.
When I got to the config part, I got a
package error.
Then I searched every package listed on
the README in the spm.

I have been advised not to do any
package downgrades on ubuntu.
No surprise linphone cannot be
installed on ubuntu 12.04.
Linphone 3.7.0 was released few weeks
ago, and in the README it says, that it will run on ubuntu.
On what ubuntu? Ubuntu 10.04? Or ubuntu
3?
The srtp and zrtp part I got installed.
I do not know if it works, because I cannot install linphone.
In the spm I could not find belle-sip.
And I did not know were to look for it. In a linphone support email I
now read how to get it, and got it.
Thanks.
