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: RESULTINGÂ 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,

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.
