I removed the kdenlive 0.8-1 and I installed again the previous version, but the problem remains.

I have the same issue

I have Fedora 15 fully updated incl

kdenlive-0.8-1.fc15.i686
mlt-0.7.4-1.fc15.i686

and I started kdenlive under a new KDE user to be sure of a clean slate but also got a popup saying

Fatal Error
MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install. Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.

A closer look to that show that MLT detection in kdenlive 0.8.0 is broken by a change in MLT after version 0.7.2.

So you have to revert from MLT 0.7.4 to 0.7.2

alternatively perhaps, kdenlive from using
http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts [^]
builds and runs on Fedora 15

but also includes a local (and perhaps updated but not yet released?) mlt in
~/kdenlive/20110821/lib/mlt/
superseding I guess that installed in
/usr/lib/mlt/

It is the third time (to me) kdenlive DOES NOT work AT ALL with different Fedora OSs after OFFICIAL updates with the OFFICIAL package manager. It's a pity ! Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm having the same issue - I'm using Fedora 15. I haven't pursued downgrading to fix things, since I don't use kdenlive for work. Hence, it's not an emergency, but it's a bit bothersome. I was in the middle of making a video in support of my favorite US Presidential candidate, and kdenlive stopped working after an update. :-(

For what it's worth, I installed and upgraded using the yellowdog update manager that comes with Fedora; my kdenlive wasn't built from source or anything.
