I have a 24hour old Jaunty Jackalope installation.
I have managed to load the kdenlive software as described with
sudo apt-get install kdenlive dvgrab frei0r swh-plugins libfaad0
and kdenlive seems to run fine. My project has one clip - an .ogv video file from Examples/Ubuntu_Free_Fulture_Showcase which plays fine in the Clip Monitor and the Project Monitor. However, when I save the project as in the kdenlive folder under home as test.kdenlive, I get a crash with no project file being saved (SIGSEGV). I have tried running "sudo kdenlive" in case it was a permissions problem, but still get the same result.
Any help would be much appreciated.
My system is
Ubuntu release 9.04(jaunty)
Kernel 2.6.28-9 generic
Gnome 2.25.92
Memory 1002.4MIB
CPU Athlon64 Processor 3200+
Diskspace 31.2GB
Here is part of the details that come up in the dialog telling me that kdenlive has crashed:
kdenlive(5652) Render::stop: ///////////// RENDER STOPPED: "project"
kdenlive(5652) Render::stop: ///////////// RENDER STOP2-------

Hi j-b-m
Thanks for that - you have given me a good reason to finally find out how to compile an application from source. I will give it a go
