Well, I am glad it works for you. My point was simply that since Cinelerra uses its own libraries, it doesn't matter what's available on the actual distro, cinelerra should perform just as well. In other words, I wouldn't recommend an upgrade *just* for cinelerra, mostly if the user (like many) is happy with hardy.
In any case, the ppa provides (and will continue to provide) builds for all releases currently supported ;-) It's all about choice.
