Enable environmental variable

PTLIB_TRACE_CODECS=4

When running simple you will be able see the directories the plugin searches for the X264 helper.

The helper should be compiled with the x264 plugin.

By enabling this before calling simple.

export PTLIB_TRACE_CODECS=4

You should see this.

If you make install on the h323plus/plugins directory it should be detected.

Just make sure it is in one of the above directories.

Should be there

http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libavcodec-dev

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev

On the lines just below the lines you posted should say this.
