HI everyone
1) sorry if my english is not so clear...
2) i'm having problems with cinelerra, since the beggining: i didn't
know that cinelerra could be "emerged" on gentoo, so i downloaded the
source code and make a manual instalation. It didn`t work, i can
import media clips but i can't drop them into the timeline... a couple
of days ago, i discovered that i could emerge it as "cinelerra-cvs" (i
think)... i did it, but still the same... i can't do anything, so my
question is, is there a way to "uninstall" the manual instalation to
start from the beggining again? i mean, erase all as i never had
install it, and do emerge again... is this possible?
thanks!
I have run several Linux distros, but Gentoo is the most difficult
to
install and I never got the GUI up and running. On my Ubuntu system
Cinelerra installs automatically and so I'm not sure of all the places
it may store parts of itself. You might want to do a "search for files"
from the "/" level and see if you find anything including filenames or
directorynames that begin with a dot "." and would be hidden in normal
listings. If you find a directory, you would want to look at any setup
files and see if you can track references to other files on your system
that way.
I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. Gentoo is a bit of a
mystery
to me, (So is Cinelerra at times.(:-|) ). If I can be of any more help,
please feel free to ask, but I can guarantee nothing.
emerge cinelerra-cvs always worked for me... just do it ;)

Yes, as i read in some sites, i can emerge it and run Cinelerra without any
problems, but i think that the manuall instalation is the main problem, and
emerge doesn't overwrite it...
I had gentoo box for about 2 years, but only as a 'user' never a gentoo hacker.
So I did a bit of reading and such, but don't take my word as law. although
what I am saying applies to any package managed system too, so anyway:
Once you out smart the package manager and sudo install your own thing in their
own places, you are doomed. you can try to figure out exactly what went where,
but you won't ever know if it overwrote something, so you will never know if you
need to remove a file, leave it alone, or replace it. I suppose you can 1)
remove all files that were installed (by reading/watching the make install
script) and then 2) re-install everything else (on gentoo, emerge -e world might
do it) but #1 is going to be a pain.
My Advice: back up your /home and /etc, rebuild. use gentoo if you like, or go
the easy route and install Ubuntu.
If you still want to build things from trunk, here is what I do:
