Ekiga is compatible with 64 bits OSes. So the only problem you have (until now) is the crash/freeze when stopping a communication. Indeed, some people have this issue (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=ekiga&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_severity=critical), we have not yet fixed it. If you wish, we can look if your problem is like theirs (while waiting that the issue be fixed); for that, you need to follow the steps at http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Debugging_Ekiga#How_to_get_a_stack_backtrace_from_a_crash_or_freeze Best regards, -- Eugen Dedu _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
