Greetings.

I am a new user of Kdenlive on Fedora 14. As there seems to be some serious problems with the binary from the Fedora 14 repositories, I decided to see if I could build Kdenlive myself.

Environment is 32 bit Fedora 14 on an Intel i7 machine


I followed the directions linked to at the sticky at the top of this page. When I ran the build script, it exited with an error while building MLT (I think) I am no programmer. Here is a clip of the error message:

I can include more of this text if it would be helpful. I use Linux exclusively in my architecture practice, and have for many years, but my expertise does not extend to analysing scripts. I can follow simple directions. I was very impressed with Kdenlive, and hope to be able to use it and contribute where I can.

Thank you for any advice with my problem

Anyone have a hint? I discovered through Google that

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

May mean that there are unresolved symbols or missing input files. Would this be a problem with the source code? Some reading indicates that unresolved symbols are linking errors...

Any thoughts about my next area to investigate?

Thanks,


Kurt
