Folks, the problem has been described by several people,
and now I find the same here on my machine:
Cinelerra from packman does not work on suse 10.3 amd64.

Installation goes without complaints, but when started,
all its windows freeze (except that "Tip of the day" can be closed),
no reaction to either keystrokes or mouseclicks.

I have investigated a bit further, but could not make it work.
However, perhaps my findings might help in solving the problem...
When started from command line, the following messages appear:

FileSystem::update /usr/lib64/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin: No such file or

MWindow::init_plugins: couldn't open /usr/lib64/cinelerra directory
--snap-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The /usr/lib64/cinelerra/ directory exists and can be read.
It is quite full of files. mpeg2enc.plugin is a dead link,
pointing to a nonexisting file /usr/bin/mpeg2enc as you can see here:



--snip------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> l /usr/lib64/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-12-04 
15:30 /usr/lib64/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin -> ../../bin/mpeg2enc
--snap------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In fact, the file pointed to, mpeg2enc, does not seem to exist at all
anywhere in the system (a "sudo find / -mount -name mpeg2enc"
returned nothing). Otherwise one could have made another link.

Searching "mpeg2enc" in Yast only in "RPM provides", search mode "contains",
yields cinelerra, mjpegtools, and transcode, all installed.
But, apparently, none of these does really provide mpeg2enc.

So... any ideas?
Cheers
Georg
