Terje, Check the permissions on the directories/files involved in .bcast5. Also for a quick test start up Cinellera as follows: CIN_CONFIG=/tmp/bcast5 cin/bin where cin/bin is location of your Cinellera binary. On Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 08:04 Terje J. Hanssen via Cin < cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org> wrote:
Hi team,
I have successfully compiled Cinelerra-GG from source on openSUSE Leap 16.1, using a configuration set to single-use without third-party and dynamically linked.
However, I ran into a persistent startup crash related to writing plugin indexes:
MWindow::init_plugins: can't create plugin index: /home/terje/.bcast5/Cinelerra_plugins
Interestingly, the exact same source build runs and behaves seemingly fine on openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll, but on Leap 16.1 the locally built binary in ./bin/cin encounters permission or I/O errors when attempting to write to the configuration directory during initialization unless heavily overridden.
Troubleshooting steps taken so far: - The .bcast5 configuration directory has been deleted and recreated multiple times, but Cingg still crashes during startup. - Three different CinGG AppImages have also been tested on the same system without startup issues.
Has anyone experienced similar path or permission issues when running a fresh source build alongside pre-existing environment configs?
