Yea, i tried to run it under all the names i could think of (ie lives LiVES lives-0.8.5 etc etc).

And i tried the find options, the ones that would've helped, and nothing was found.

wtf?

Alien isn't perfect.
Debian is working on a .deb, but their seems to be a bug in LiVES.

Building it from a tar isn't that hard.

Be sure you have these package installed(also for a binarie):

mplayer 0.90rc1+
mencoder with libavcodec  (required for saving only)
ImageMagick 5
perl 5+
gtk+ 2.x
libjpeg62
gdk-pixbuf-loaders

sox (recommended)
transcode (recommended)

xmms (optional)
cdda2wav (optional)

Download this:
http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Esalsaman/lives/current/LiVES-0.9.0-pre1-bin.tar.bz2
 
Unzip it and follow these instructions:

So, you're saying that Komodo will include ALL the plugins you'll ever need? (SDL, SDL_perl, DivX, XVid, Flash, ffdshow, etc.)

hm_murdock:
No, I hit "add reply" before I was done because I was heading out the door... let me clarify.

Bundles.

The way things should be done. An app's bundle should include everything needed for it to run. If standard, OS-packaged APIs are lacking something, then whatever else is req'd will be included in the bundle. That way, you manipulate it as a single object, rather than a nebulous misting of files that get spewed all over the HD.



Tell me which looks better. Understandable names with descriptive icons, or faceless things with undecipherable codes for names?

I choose something real and good. I choose bundles.

Bundles will replace the way you install software in Linux because they're better. Hands-down they're a better idea, and implemented right, they'll be one factor that makes Linux *better* than Windows.

Remember, being "as good" won't cut it.

Linux has to be QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITATIVELY BETTER BEFORE PEOPLE WILL NOTICE.

PS I forgot to add, that bundles allow you to do something that's apparently pretty difficult to do, even with current so-called "package management" apps.

REMOVE SOFTWARE EASILY.

You remove it as easily as you installed it.

Drag-and-drop. Just remove the bundle and the app is gone.

That IS easy!
