Happy New Year!



I'm hoping to try out Kdenlive0.7.1 but I'm having problems installing it on Mandriva2009. I saw it on rpmfind and downloaded the both 0.7.1 and mlt0.3.4. However, when I try to run kdenlive, I get this error message:

"Fatal Error

MLT's avformat (FFMPEG) module not found. Please check your FFMPEG and MLT install. Kdenlive will not work unless this is fixed." I can go no further than this.

Here is the output from the command line:

kdenlive(16998) MainWindow::parseProfiles: RESULTING MLT PATH:  "/usr/share/mlt/profiles/"

mlt_repository.c, mlt_repository_init: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/mlt/libmltavformat.so

I do have both ffmpeg0.4.9 and libavformats52-0.4.9 installed. How do I resolve this problem? What is QPainter?



Thanks,

Pasting an answer from the -devel list from Dan Dennedy, to, I think, the same question.

Did your MLT package include a libmltavformat.so.0.3.4? (rpm -ql mlt |
grep libmltavformat)

If so, does 'inigo -query producers 2>&1 | grep avformat' show a result?

You need to file a bug with Mandriva because either a library linkage
is broken, the module is missing in the package, or a dependency is
missing.

If you install RPM packages by hand, you are not going to install the required dependencies (other packages). Kdenlive is mostly a user interface of MLT. And MLT mostly relies on FFmpeg.

Out of interest, did you try darkrpm, Mandriva interface to urpim. Only urpmi and darkrom is able to fetch dependencies. Does darkrpm work for you?

I did not use urpmi or darkrpm (what is darkrpm?). I downloaded the cooker's rpm and installed it manually. I guess I'll wait for the official Mandriva rpm of Kdenlive 0.7.1.
