Hi,
I had to make a single file change, there was a symlink in the lib dir
pointing out to somewhere else on the system.
Also if you are getting the error:
./runtime/apps/freevo_python: error while loading shared libraries:
libavcodec.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Please cvs update (if you have developer ssh access because anon cvs is
now on a 24 hour lag) or add:
setenv ("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "./runtime/dll", 1);
at line 205 of runapp.c.
The new runtime is:
http://freevo.sf.net/runtime/runtime-pre5-test5.tar.bz2
-Rob
P.S. - The rest still applies:
