    what to do?

  6. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (I know, not listed here.)

    I ran the steps for Community installation. No misspellings, all steps seemed to work.

    When I tried to run cinelerra I got:

    cinelerra: error while loading shared libraries: libdv.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Is it Ubuntu 14.04? If so, how can I uninstall cinelerra?

    Thank you.

    • Try to fix the issue via command in terminal:

      sudo apt-get install libdv4 libdv4:i386

      If the problem still exists, uninstall it via:

      sudo apt-get remove cinelerra-cv
      • Thank you for your prompt assistance. I tried your tip. It returned something like libdv was already the most current. I still received the same error when I tried to run cinelerra, so I uninstalled it as you indicated. That worked, at least. :-)

  7. followed the HV version instructions,

    one amendment needed to your instructions:

    before you run “sudo dpkg -i cinelerra_4.4-*.deb”, need to run: “sudo dpkg -i cinelerra-data_4.4-dmo1_all.deb” otherwise you get a dependancy error.

    also, lock to launcher on first run doesnt work, it still disappears from launcher when you exit via cinelerra program, so you have to run in terminal every time.

    program itself seems to work fine so far, thanks :)
