Who knows what it was that removed numactl from your system; a system update? A package that you uninstalled and brought with it numactl?

It was definitely a system update. I was using Cin the previous evening, next morning there was an update which I applied and after that, no Cin.

If this is your first installation of CinGG, you should first install all the dependencies listed in the Phyllis link, so no problem. However, in your case there is no way to realize that before there was "numactl" and now no more (and maybe other dependencies).

Perhaps you could make a script that, when problems arise, you run it to check for the presence of all dependencies. In short, the same as "prepare.sh" for other distributions. A normal Arch user would be able to do that, but not me :-)
I'll try to see how it's done, it would be a convenient addition.

Update, for the record. I went back to Manjaro KDE.

Andrea, the link does work, but I had to run pacman -S numactl first. It still leaves the question of where it went in the first place, of course!

I am not sure why an update of Manjaro would not already have the required files since Cinelerra was working on the earlier version

Exactly that. Bear in mind that Manjaro is a rolling release and updates are only partial, so why should I immediately think that file had gone missing?

Just to verify, I made sure that "numactl" was listed for Arch install in README.arch file and it is there. I guess I should have mentioned looking at this file early on but I am not sure why an update of Manjaro would not already have the required files since Cinelerra was working on the earlier version?:

For the record, I got some help from the Manjaro forum and it seems that libdav1d is provided by numactl, installing it fixed the problem.

FYI it is something that Xfce always required installing separately to run Cin, but never before KDE.

Andrea, you posted while I was writing, thankyou. I had the installed Arch package, but I also tried the Arch single-user build (which I always keep handy in case of a bad Cin update).

Hi,
I installed Manjaro and then I compiled CinGG. First I installed all the necessary dependencies. Everything works well for me, with no errors.
Do you install the binary or compile it?

@andreapaz

It doesn't work for me. Never mind, I'll use Mint because it is working. Thanks anyway.

@pierre

Thanks again Pierre, I've bookmarked that lengthy list to try later. FYI it gets worse when I install the proprietary graphics driver.

@andreapaz

Thanks Andrea. I have the same libraries, so I can try this later.
