    I cut and pated the code mentioned above. entering each line separately. I got the following error message:

    Please advise.

  2. Hi,

    I’ve had some help from you before and like it seems I need it again.
    I try to install cinelerra 5 on the new ubuntu 16.04 (www.ubuntu.org), but it doesn’t want to start up when I click the cinelerra icon in the unpacked folder. That was normally the way to get it started.
    Have you any ideas to make it run on ubuntu 16.04?

    all the best
