Hi, I've had a bit of a search around for this problem, but I couldn't find any answers. If I didn't look hard enough, feel free to redirect me to the solution! :)
Anyway, I've installed kdenlive from the repositories on a pretty fresh Xubuntu 11.10 system, solved the SDL module problem and the program still won't start. It gets a little further - it asks me all the configuration questions, but when I hit "finish" the program simply bombs out. A user in another thread (http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/ubuntu-1110-wont-run-kdenlive-mlts-sdl-mod...) was able to solve the problem by using the svn version, but it didn't do the trick for me unfortunately.
Can anyone help me?

Can't get Kdenlive to start - Xubuntu 11.10. MLT's SDL module is NOT the problem [SOLVED]

Re: Can't get Kdenlive to start - Xubuntu 11.10. MLT's SDL ...
Okay, just searched that string and came up with the solution. Turns out I had to upgrade libmlt4 and melt. Funny, because elsewhere i read that the upgraded versions were supposed to come with the svn version which I am using.
So yeah, feel free to ignore this thread!
Okay, I've just gotten the program to work by simply copying the exact command line from my launcher into the shell "kdenlive %i -caption "%c" %u"
I know, the %i, %c and %u are wrong, but I just wanted to see if it would give me some error messages in the shell that I could work with. Instead it gave me a GUI error message "~/%i is not a Kdenlive project file" (surprise surprise). So I can open the program through a shell, but it still won't open through the launcher, and I'm sure I'm going to be missing some important paramaters if I keep running it through the shell. Besides, it would be a real pain to have to run it through shell every time.
edit: just tried to create a new project and it bombed again witht the message kdenlive: symbol lookup error: kdenlive: undefined symbol: mlt_service_cache_get_size" in my shell.
