Re: [Cin] Unable to launch cin on Arch
Thank you for checking that as I was not sure. As mentioned earlier Andrea Paz builds, uses and updates Arch all of the time. I have sent this email directly to him and am waiting a reply. There must be something he has installed that is missing. Unfortunately, I do not have the latest Arch installed but I will boot my old one and see if I get the same error when building.

I already checked the file beforehand and installed everything listed inside the README, I just tried again now and the issue is persisting.

Hi, I already tried downloading and using the appimage on the cin-gg website, when I launch it I see a splash screen pop up for a second before it exits with a failure, the same thing happened with the appimage you linked. I attached the log for this under the file "appimg.log"
The same thing happened when I tried to get the appimage from the AUR.
The error message I included in my last email was from my attempting to launch the version of cin that I installed using pacman using the instructions outlined here <https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/arch-cinelerra-installation-instructions/>. I has assumed it would be the latest version, but upon further inspection it seems to be the 2020 version (cin-5.1-20201031).
Ive also tried compiling the appimage from source using the AUR but it would always result in an error due to missing some CUDA helper headers that I had to track down to install. The log file for which is attached under the file "comp1.log" After getting the first set of headers installed, when I tried to compile again I was hit with a second set of missing headers. Contained under "comp2.log" As I have been unable to locate and install the second set of headers, I am finally reaching out for help.
Thank you for your time, - Hugo

I am just "guessing" that you downloaded the year 2020 Arch version of Cinelerra ( https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/tars/cinelerra-5.1-arch-20201031.x86_64.tx...) and that would explain the error message you get. If that is the case, please download the AppImage instead at: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/images/CinGG-20241231-x86_64.AppImage Put it in the directory of your choice and be sure it has execute permission (chmod +x CinGG-20241231-x86_64.AppImage). Then just start it from a window by keying in its filename, as: ./CinGG-20241231-x86_64.AppImage
Andrea Paz builds on Arch all of the time with no problems. He usually keeps his Arch O/S updated all of the time too so it should run. However, he did report recently that an older AppImage did not start for him.

Hello! Ive been trying to launch cin on my new arch device, I downloaded it following the instructions provided on the website and installed it through pacman, but when I try to launch it, I get the error: cin: error while loading shared libraries: libIlmImf-2_5.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
None of the "solutions" I have found have been able to help, I was wondering if you would be able to assist me, or point me in the direction of someone who can.

The latest appimages don't work for me either, with pretty much the same log as yours. I tried making an appimage from inside Arch and this one works for me. You can try it too: https://limewire.com/d/e5a2146c-ca9b-426b-ba41-38a6f39ef34c#NZflAFyF_29jN-lB... Since Arch is a rolling, it is still best to compile from git. If you decide to try compiling, you must first install dependencies and then pass the various commands on the terminal to complete the compilation. Instructions can be found here: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/single_user_build.html But you can ask for all the info and advice you want. A copy-and-paste summary is as follows: Install the dependencies described in: https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/README.arch This step will be done only the first time; the following ones you will go straight to copy and paste. Open a terminal and copy and paste the following lines: git clone --depth 1 git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git cinelerra5 cd /home/paz/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1 ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-single-user --enable-libsvtav1 make 2>&1 | tee /tmp/cin5.log && make install Each time you copy a command line, press ENTER and wait for the process to finish. The last command commits the CPU to 100% for a few minutes (with my AMD Ryzen 5900, it takes about 5-8 min). At the end of the compilation you can launch CinGG, again from the terminal; with the command: ~/cinelerra5/cinelerra-5.1/bin/./cin
Compiling from git worked perfectly for me, thank you! I am curious if the version of cin on pacman will be updated to a more modern and functional one. Anyways, thank you for your help, - Hugo Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Good question. Although I do not know how this is done, I think that anyone can submit the latest CinelerraGG built package if they make it and then get someone in charge of pacman to add it. Anyways, thank you for your help, - Hugo On Wed, Feb 26, 2025 at 6:36 AM moop <moop250@proton.me> wrote:

I remember, several years ago, that the Arch maintainer who was in charge of CinGG (David Runge), asked for changes to adapt the program to the Arch workflow. This was not possible and the maintainer abandoned the package. Later someone put the package on AUR, but it has always been spotty and problematic support. I do not recommend using the AUR package, even at times when it works!
