Problems installing Cinelerra

[peejay1977]

Hi all,

Am fairly new to Linux but am a MS Support Engineer so I'm fairly intelligent (I hope!).

I'm having an issue installing Cinelerra. I have added the sources and can install version 4 but it doesn't create an icon in the menu for it so I'm unable to launch it and I'm afraid my Linux knowledge doesn't stretch far enough to see whether or not it has actually installed properly.

Version 2.1 seems to be the version I need though according to various sources but it tells me there are dependencies that can't be installed.

Any help would be appreciated. Am running Kubuntu 10.04 32bit if that helps.

Many Thanks


Paul.

Hey, Paul -

MCSE here but it's an old one. There are several ways to create an icon - the first is the easy one. Right-click your Kmenu icon and select Menu Editor. I'm sure you can take it from there

symlinks are to Linux what shortcuts are to Windows. You can right-click an empty space in Dolphin, select "Create New" and make a symlink from there or you can do it in a terminal session like this -

ln -s target_file link_name

cheers -
