I can’t seem to get cinelerra installed, here’s what I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cinelerra: Depends: libopenexr2c2a (>= 1.2.2) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Can’t seem to install libopenexr2c2a as it is replaced by libopenexr2ldbl which will break other important packages if uninstalled. Any ideas?

I had the same problem as JohnC with core dumps.

According to

http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php

the version of Cinelerra from deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./ does not work with AMD systems. You need to uninstall and add the following repository and install from that instead:

deb http://repository.akirad.net/ akirad-gutsy main

I’m sure everyone can figure this out on their own, but just in case someone is having problems who is new, it’s actually sudo aptitude install cinelerra instead of Cinelerra.

Try inserting this line in /etc/sysctl.conf, in place of the one given in the article:

kernel.shmmax = 2147483647

It’s the same thing, actually .. only, the number has been converted from Hex to Dec

sudo sysctl -p
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
kernel.maps_protect = 1

error: “Invalid argument” setting key “kernel.shmmax”

what wrong?
