Hello from Western Australia.

I am using UbuntuMATE 16.04.

On the web page at
http://www.linphone.org/downloads-for-desktop.html
is

"
Distros packages for Debian & Ubuntu

Linphone is included in Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux distributions: you 
can then install it in a few seconds using your favourite package 
manager or in a console using

sudo apt-get install linphone

See linphone page on debian and ubuntu websites:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/linphone
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linphone
"

The link for the Ubuntu version, leads to
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/linphone

which has

"
Package: linphone (3.6.1-2.5)
"

which is also the version shown in the Ubuntu Software Center package 
manager.

I have successfully used Skype on Linux, but have yet to be able to get 
either Ekiga or Linphone working on Linux.

Having the latest version of the application, available for the Ubuntu 
Linux operating system (and, thence, the Ubuntu derivatives), would be 
useful, to try to get it working.
