that is what i am trying to install. my system specs are as follows:

uname -a
Linux sabAMD64 2.6.20-sabayon-r3 #1 SMP Tue Mar 13 21:25:59 UTC 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

NO I AM NOT running the 64bit vs, just the standard x86. the name is because i do have a 64bit CPU.

To build most packages run configure first and then make, then make install. If there's no configure in the directory, it can probably be built with make alone.

There is no warranty on compilability of the source code. No warranty, expressed or implied, including fitness for compilation. The current known requirements to compile anything are ALSA-1.0.11, GCC 4.1, NASM version 0.98.39, kernel 2.6.16.18. Different bugs will be experienced depending on compiler version.

To decompress a source code download, use tar jxf <package name>

i have done this several times now. i have downloaded the file from the above link, i have used tar jxf as instructed to decompress the tar ball. then i cd into the folder and run ./configuration.

every time i get the same bloody error, will post below. i have tried this as user, with sudo, and as su - all with the exact same error every time.

hardware specs on this puppy:

AMD 939chip 3800+
2G PC3200 ram
Asus A8N-SLI Premium MB
sATA drives
updated BIOS to most current according to Asus web page.

now with that stated. here are the errors i am getting:

Code:

Configured successfully.  Type 'make' to build it.
sabAMD64 cinelerra-2.1 # make
make -f build/Makefile.cinelerra
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

so now what? i tried kino and it sucks. iMovie is 10x better then kino and i need the power of true A/B video editing like what Final cut and Premiere offer.

also just added info. at first i had to install yasm i think it was. did that via emerge in order for configuration to run.

Found a couple links for you:
http://www.hyperlogos.org/story/fun_with_cinelerra
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.p...4ae2f1f2268a63

The first link suggests that the package scripts are broken and will never compile. The second link has suggestions on some workarounds. Good luck!

ok thanks for the links. any other suggestions for true A/B video editing under linux? kino flat out sucks and with this build so screwed up it will be way beyond my skills to force it to install.

found the answere from the sabayon live chat IRC...

sudo emerge cinelerra-cvs

poof it is installing now. wish me luck for it to be as good as i need.

lleb,
you may not find it as useful as you hope, Cinelerra is written to work with multiple cpus [ dual opterons recommended ] so a single chip may leave it lacking performance wise.

I have a few old distros kicking around that included it when it was "Broadcast" and it is designed to be a viable option to the MS based video editors, but it was never very effective for me. [ I most likely didn't have the hardware required for it to work right ]

well it's performance was not bad, but everytime i tried to get it to playback any video it crashed. no error, no nothing, just no longer running.

i have a single chip, but it is a dual core and the app treated it like it had multiple CPUs.

do you have a suggestion to replace it? i will be removing it today as if it can not play back and i can not watch what i have done to the video it is worthless to me.
