Pitivi 0.92 compiling+installation help

kjell159 · 01-04-2014, 04:12 PM

Hey I'm trying to get the latest Pitivi because the one I have now (0.15.2) is very buggy and won't render.

So,
when I try to compile it I get this line at the end:

Code:

checking for cairo... configure: error: Package requirements (cairo) were not met:

No package 'cairo' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables cairo_CFLAGS
and cairo_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I tried to get cairo but I'm stuck.
My package manager has a 'python-cairo' (But Python is a programming language?) but that's not the right thing I believe.
Also I tried to install it via deb packages (I'm using Debian, LXDE D.E. .) but when I try to install the one package, I need the other (dependency) and when I try to install that one it needs ANOTHER one, .........

I am not a programmer/computer scientist,
I have only been using Linux for half a year or so.

(I only know basic terminal commands.)
So I do not even know what pkg-config is etc.

Take a look here: Pitivi Wiki for guidance.

I installed the dependencies listed in the wiki.
Now compiling and installing went well but now I cannot start the program.
When I try to start it from the terminal I get this message:

Code:

** (process:11087): WARNING **: Failed to load shared library 'libgstreamer-1.0.so.0' referenced by the typelib: libgstreamer-1.0.soso: kan gedeeld objectbestand niet openen: Bestand of map bestaat niet

gi._glib.GError: Could not locate gst_version: libgstreamer-1.0.soso: kan gedeeld objectbestand niet openen: Bestand of map bestaat niet

I'm sorry, some things are in Dutch.
I try to translate it:
-kan gedeeld objectbestand niet openen: Bestand of map bestaat niet = cannot open shared objectfile: File or map does not exist
