If the .avidemuxrc file is missing or wrongly configured, avidemux will not start. I can't prove that it will work if I have this file because I don't have it, and I can't seem to find it on the internet. I can prove that its dying looking for it, though (the soruce also confirms that this is a "death" condition). Consider the end of this strace output from this program: write(1, " Registering Filters\n", 21 Registering Filters ) = 21 write(1, "*********************\n", 22********************* ) = 22 write(1, "\n", 1 ) = 1 access("/home/rusty/.avidemuxrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Not even in portage any more; try with 2.0.42-r1 or 2.1_pre1. If it still doesn't work, reopen with a backtrace and emerge --info. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
