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: --snip-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cinelerra Cinelerra 2.1CV SVN r1036 Packman build (C) 2006 Heroine Virtual Ltd.

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 -- Schöpfung & Wandel Wissenschaftliche Medienberatung Dr. K. G.
