The Cinelerra community version has to be checked out from a Subversion repository. You can get the latest commit with: svn checkout svn://svn.skolelinux.org/cinelerra/trunk/hvirtual After the checkout has finished, see what revision SVN indicated and rename the hvirtual/ directory to cinelerra-cv-revisioncl_number. For example this checkout what revision 1009, so the hvirtual dir was renamed to cinelerra-cv-r1009: mv hvirtual cinelerra-cv-r1009 Then tar it and bzip it to save space: tar cvf cinelerra-cv-r1009.tar cinelerra-cv-r1009/ bzip2 cinelerra-cv-r1009.tar Also make sure you install libraw, libiec, libavc, openexr and libdv before trying to compile cinelerra. Otherwise the configure script warns that some vital components are not installed, but blunders along and creates the Makefiles anyway which are useless because gcc eventually fails to compile everything. The doinst.sh script here has a little extra in it to make cinelerra work correctly on first-start. the symlink info will be pre-pended to it by makepkg.
