Hi, ....and let me add the following: even if someone is desperate to compile cinelerra from source (maybe because he wants to patch her), if you are on ubuntu (or even debian), its always a good idea to use a well maintained package like currently the akirad packages. You can always recompile a debian (or ubuntu) package from source, which has two distinct advantages over compling "the hard way": - you can use the package manager to resolve the build dependencies - your self-compiled software becomes a first-class citizen and also can be replaced/removed from the system cleanly using the package manager. How? - get the NAME.orig.tar.gz, NAME.diff.gz and NAME.dsc from the repository - dpkg-source -x NAME.dsc - dpkg-source -b NAME and then install the resulting *deb packages with sudo dpkg -i XXX.deb from within the build directory you can check the build dependencies with dpkg-checkbuilddeps To get the basic capability of compiling on a debian system: sudo apt-get install build-essential hope that helps, Cheers, Hermann _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
