To compile Ekiga 3.0.2 on Kubuntu 8.04, follow the below mentioned steps:

1.On Ubuntu 8.04 KDE desktop, download the source packages for Ekiga-3.0.2, OPAL-3.4.4 & Ptlib-2.4.4 and extract them.

2. For Ptlib: 

   a. apt-get install build-essential
   b. apt-get install flex ( fast lexical analyzer )
   c. apt-get install bison ( parser generator )
   d. ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-oss
   e. make
   f. make install

3. For OPAL: 

   a. apt-get install pkg-config
   b. ./configure --prefix=/usr
   c. make
   d. make install

3. For Ekiga: 

   a. apt-get install intltool
   b. apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev  libxml++2.6-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeui-dev    
      libebook1.2-dev  libldap2-dev libxvmc-dev libxml2-utils
   c. apt-get install scrollkeeper xsltproc xmllint docbook-utils
   d. ./configure --prefix=/usr  --sysconfdir=/etc
   e. make
   f. make install

After this, open a terminal and type: 

  $ ekiga

Ekiga should open successfully!!!

P.S: There might be some error when using the webcam with ekiga. This is being worked upon and will be hopefully fixed soon.
