Install Cinelerra on Fedora 8
Although Cinelerra is GPL licened application it is not available in default Fedora repositories because it depends on some packages that Fedora doesn’t distribute because of patent issues.
If you use Livna repository that you are out of luck because only Freshrpms repository has Cinellera in it’s repository. If you try to use Freshrpms after you allready have installed some packages from Livna you will be confronted with dependency hell because these two repositories conflict on number of packages.
I can’t work without some packages in Livna so I wen’t out looking for an answer, and I found one! It is called Kwizart repository. Kwizart repository is compatible with Livna so you won’t have any problems installing Cinelerra if you are using Livna repository.
All you need to do is this:
su
w get http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/kwizart-release-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh kwizart-release-8.noarch.rpm
yum install cinelerra –enablerepo=kwizart
Now you have brand new Cinelerra installed on your Fedora 8.
Livna and Freshrpms (plus a few others) repositories are merging in RPMFusion RPM repository for Fedora and when they start providing packages Cinelerra will be there, but until then this is a workaround solution.

Had to enter syntax like this:
yum –enablerepo=kwizart install cinelerra
However, I cannot get it to complete installation. It makes it as far as completing the downloading of the packages and then gives the following message:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5b01f801
GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 12] Timeout:
So, I am not yet able to get Cinelerra to install via yum on Fedora 8

Ok, retried the install with:
yum –enablerepo=kwizart install cinelerra
It worked ok. Now to figure our why the video lags behind the audio in the compositor when playing back.

Most excellent. After attempting to mesh the repos by hand to get cinelerra, then compiling from source (failed in snow.c), finally stumbled across this. Thank you!
Hope the RPM Fusion project comes online soon.

perroandaluz: maybe you have some other sound issues, try disablind PulseAudio
vandervecken: thank also Kwizart for packaging it and making this repo

Thanks a bunch for this. I had been in a work stand still trying to figure out how to get Cinelerra to install on my Fedora 8. It was so frustrating getting all the dependency errors.
I will try this out ASAP and get back to work.

I was hoping this would once again get Cinelerra working but I still get the dependency error with a missing lib, that I just can not find.
(all steps above)
yum enablerepo=kwizart install cinelerra Running transaction check
—> Package cinelerra.x86_64 0:2.1-0.14.20080214.fc8 set to be updated
–> Processing Dependency: libx264.so.58()(64bit) for package: cinelerra
–> Processing Dependency: libfftw3.so.3()(64bit) for package: cinelerra

–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libx264.so.58()(64bit) is needed by package cinelerra

Any help at all would be gratefully received.

What repos do you have configured?
Run ‘yum repolist’ and post. You need the livna repo enabled and disable freshrpms repo if you have it configured too.

I get stuck on step 3…
# yum install cinelerra –enablerepo=kwizart
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package cinelerra available.
No Match for argument: –enablerepo=kwizart
No package –enablerepo=kwizart available.
Nothing to do

look at help of yum command
man yum
wordpress is guilty here and you can’t do an exact copy/paste because wordpress converts double dash to single large dash.

yum install cinelerra –enablerepo=kwizart
^^^
not
yum install cinelerra –enablerepo=kwizart
