So, people got confused. Tutorial:
1. Do a basic debian etch install; 2. Then, use the sources.list I sent (it is the basic list, plus marillat) - do not mix any other repos, in any circumstances for a stable debian machine. 3. Open synaptic, open the synaptic file I sent, install all those files already marked - gcc is probably in that list. This list was made mainly as a save-timer, so you won't have to write or mark everything over and over again. In case, however, that there is any basic program that's missing for compiling, it will be accused at the ./configure step. I mention this because I created two different synaptic files - one previous to cin4 compiling (the file I sent) and another with all the things needed (the tutorial I sent pasted on the mail). 4. There you have, a full on debian, ready to install a cinelerra version! Now: ........a: install older cin-cv version, from 2007, which works perfectly with all these things and you can do professional work with close deadlines without any worry; I've used it hundreds and hundreds of times and it is smooth man; .......b: follow the tutorial I had send previously, under the same subject message, to compile cinelerra4, which I have managed to install but not to test. I am still learning how to create a debian package out of it - when I do, it should be installed for tests on my machine. Once finished, my advice is to remove Marillat's repo from the sources.list and be sort of careful when updating. I usually use extremelly stable machines to work, not to test. It is a conservative approach that has worked for me. Some people may criticise me for this - here in Brazil, people who do it do not edit longer or more complex videos, so... For testing I usually have another partition and I've been disappointed over and over again with Ubuntu systems for video (I mean the whole chainline, not just editing). Once you finally get it working, there they go, update everything and things screw up again... That's mainly it. But don't trust me, see what's best for your case. good luck again, flavio
