How do I get Avidemux to show subtitle filters (yes, I have installed libass)? It functions in every other way except for that. My operating system is Slackware 14.2 (64-bit).
Excuse me, but what does glib have to do with this thread?
You are the one who brought up needing to update glib (which was actually glib2... then you thought glibc needed to be upgraded) in those previous posts to enable subtitles in avidemux.
In case you forgot...

(And Tumbler definitely doesn't need avidemux as it is sitting in -current right now without avidemux being a part of -current.)

The solution surprised me slightly, since I've had no problems with the subtitle filters on avidemux built with ponce's SBo script for -current which includes that sed line. But alas, that's on current - maybe there are some crucial differences to 14.2 that explains it?

It's meant to adjust the version it checks for fribidi, likely because the version used in -current is newer than the one on 14.2.
