I finish, using source and without errors, the linphone installation on 'stretch' following the instructions on linphone.

trying to start `linphonec', I'm receiving the following error message:

$ linphonec
2019-07-07 21:46:59:551 mediastreamer-error-Connection to the pulseaudio server failed
2019-07-07 21:46:59:588 liblinphone-fatal-Unable to open linphone database.
Aborted

Even that the instructions required only libasound2-dev and libpulse-dev, after installing 'pulseaudio' the error continue.
I also search the whole disk for a linphone.db and the .db was not found (besides one on the tester directory).
Is there any missing step on the installation instructions?

I encountered this problem under Jessie. To solve the problem, I used : 

strace linphonec

and getting the .db path, then :

touch /path/file.db

To check the sound cards (when you have resolved the creation of the .db file and linphonec want start) :

linphonec> help
linphonec> soundcard list
0: ALSA: default device
1: ALSA: bcm2835 ALSA
2: ALSA: Logitech USB Headset
3: PulseAudio: default

Linphonec work, the sound work, but I always have the pulse audio error message in the output. (I think for me it's a missing lib : libdbus in the pulseaudio directory , but the lib is correctly found in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ directory after first check in pulseaudio dir., strace for more messages...)

On Stretch:

mkdir -pv ~/.local/share/linphone/

seem's to work.
