Well, what I meant is simply: Because I cannot compile it and because I find
no apropriate rpm, I have no avidemux. And therefore it dies not work
(physically, in my particular case).

I followed this moment your suggestion and gave a self-compilation another
try. I downloaded the latest stable tarball.tgz (0.9), unpacked it, made a
'configure | tee config.log' and then a 'make all 2>&1 | tee make_all.log'.
I think I have made that right?

Because I (again) got errors, I stored both logfiles here, because I do
not want to post here 206 kB of text. You are invited to have a look on them
and tell me where the possible fault is:

http://www.hantsch.co.at/_temp/make_all.log

Maybe you can help me getting avidemux working. (This is a SuSE 8.0 machine
and I have compiled the whole transcode package and other things on it without
problems, so the environment should basically be ok!

:-/   Why doesn't it compile then?  Please, help. -- Thanks!
