I've installed mlt 0.5.10 and kdenlive 0.7.8 on Arch Linux from the community repos for x86-64. I have to start kdenlive with --mlt-path to get to the config wizard, otherwise it appears for a split second and quits. It asks where the MLT profiles are, I point to /usr/share/mlt/profiles, then it says
error starting MLTs command line player melt, MLTs SDL module not found. Please check your MLT installation. However when I start kdenlive as root it finds everything! I went to kdenlive on IRC and it was suggested I turn here for help. Here is an excerpt of the conversation. I hope someone can see where it went wrong. #kdenlive [19:38] <dust__> need some help getting this program started [19:43] <dust__> says it can't find melt or SDL profiles and module [19:43] <dust__> but when I run it as root everythings OK [19:46] <xzhayon> distro? [19:47] <dust__> Arch. I installed both mlt and kdenlive from community repos [19:49] <xzhayon> run melt -query consumers 2>&1 | grep sdl [19:49] <xzhayon> and show me the results [19:49] <dust__> - sdl_image [19:51] <dust__> when I run that as su I get this [19:51] <dust__> - sdl - sdl_audio - sdl_preview - sdl_still [19:53] <xzhayon> as su? [19:53] <xzhayon> but that's the output of query consumers [19:56] <dust__> just that Im getting different output as su than user [19:57] <xzhayon> what's the output of melt -query consumers 2>&1 | grep sdl not run as su? [19:57] <dust__> - sdl_image [19:58] <xzhayon> that's definitely wrong [19:58] <xzhayon> try reinstalling mlt [19:58] <dust__> did that at least twice [19:59] <dust__> 0.5.10 [19:59] <dust__> kdenlive 0.7.8 [20:01] <xzhayon> may i see the pkgbuild for this package? [20:03] <dust__> http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/community/mlt/repos/community-x86_64/PKGBUILD [20:12] <xzhayon> im' sorry but i have no clue on what's happening [20:12] <xzhayon> you should ask to arch packagers [20:14] <dust__> yeah Ive been waiting a long time for an answer [20:15] <dust__> please tell me what the output above means briefly [20:17] <xzhayon> well, that shows the producers and consumers available to melt [20:17] <xzhayon> but that's not the expected output [20:17] <xzhayon> what you see with "su" [20:18] <xzhayon> i what should appear when run as normal user [20:18] <xzhayon> while what you see when run as normal user [20:18] <xzhayon> is what you should see when querying producers, not consumers [20:18] <xzhayon> try asking on [email protected] Below is the package build script from Arch Linux: pkgname=mlt pkgver=0.5.10 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="An open source multimedia framework" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://www.mltframework.org"; license=('GPL') depends=('sdl_image' 'libsamplerate' 'libdv' 'qt' 'sox' 'libxml2' 'gtk2' 'ffmpeg' 'frei0r-plugins') optdepends=('jack' 'libexif') makedepends=('subversion') conflicts=('mlt++<=0.3.8') source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz) md5sums=('6869ed138193cc0e3113e4e7ac341e14') build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver [ $CARCH == "i686" ] && SSE2=--disable-sse2 || SSE2= msg "SSE2=$SSE2" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gpl \ --qimage-libdir=/usr/lib/ --qimage-includedir=/usr/include/Qt \ --avformat-swscale $SSE2 make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install || return 1 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Mlt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mlt-devel
