[Kdenlive-devel] libavformat.so.50 error

[Ronald T. <rt...@gm...>]

first: hello all *waves hand* I'm new, found out about kdenlive yesterday, and 
think it looks promising. I want to edit MJPEG movies from my camera. Thanks 
for all the great work put into it.

Now, my question. I'm using Ubuntu, tried the 'klik' file, tried the Debian 
sarge (or sid, what is it) .deb from Marillat (which is the same as klik 
used; extracted and ran kdenlive, and it ran - installing wouldn't work 
because of failed dependencies), both were unable to import video (MJPEG, 
XviD, didn't matter). The latter, which I ran by command line gave an 
libavformat.so.50 error. So I decided to compile the svn version. Same. I 
compiled&installed ffmpeg from svn, compiled&installed mlt and mlt++ 0.2.2 
from tarball, did a make clean on kdenlive, re-bootstrap, re-configure and 
re-make: same problem. This is the output:

kdenlive: Mlt inited
kdenlive: +++++++++++  Generating scenelist start...  ++++++++++++++++++
kdenlive: Creating new document
kdenlive: deleting contents...
kdenlive: ****************  INIT DOCUMENT VIEW ***************

KCrash: Application 'kdenlive' crashing...

I *have* libavformat-dev installed, and the wanted file is somewhere on my 
harddisk:
$ locate libavformat.so.50
/usr/olib/0.2.0/lib/libavformat.so.50.4.0
/usr/olib/0.2.0/lib/libavformat.so.50

Symlinking it to the directory whereout I run kdenlive doesn't work. Googling 
didn't work. So... !!!HELP!!! :-)

Anyone else having this problem, or knowing how to fix? Would be a good one 
for the still empty 'install problems' too, I guess..

Thanks in advance.
