Installation (binary versions)
_________________
See the LiVES website:
http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=downloads
for more information.
INSTALLING FROM SOURCE
----------------------------------------------------
If you got LiVES as a tar.gz or tar.bz2, at a terminal prompt, enter the following:
bzip2 -d LiVES-2.2.8.tar.bz2
or,
gzip -d LiVES-2.2.8.tar.gz
depending on which version you have. Then:
tar xvf LIVES-2.2.8.tar
cd lives-2.2.8
now type:
./configure
check the output of configure very carefully, following any advice it provides,
and making any adjustments you may wish - such as installing optional libraries.
If you are happy with the output from configure, then compile the source with:
make
again, check the output for any warnings or errors.
Assuming everything went OK, you can now install the application with:
make install
(you probably need to do this as root - on some systems you would become root using "su", on other systems you would run
sudo make install
)
Finally, you should make sure your system can find the new libraries installed by LiVES:
sudo ldconfig
You can then run lives either from a menu, or by typing in a terminal:
lives
Relocating:
-----------
The default location for everything is inside /usr; so executables go in /usr/bin, themes and scripts in /usr/share/lives/, and libraries and compiled plugins in /usr/lib.
When installing from source, you can change this with:
./configure --prefix=/some/other/dir
You can also install in a non-default directory with:
make install DESTDIR=/some/other/dir
However, if you do relocate, and this is not a fresh install, you will need to edit your .lives file in your home directory and adjust and so that they point to the correct locations for scripts and plugins.
NOTE: if the library directory is anything except /usr/lib, you should adjust the libraries in libweed pkg-config files:
libweed/*.pk
Other configuration options
---------------------------
For a complete list of configure options, type:
./configure --help
Troubleshooting
---------------
Make sure you have themes and icons, and plugins installed as above.
If they are moved from their installed location, make sure you edit and
in ~/.lives
In case of any problems, check your ~/.lives file and make sure everything is
pointing to the right locations.
You can also try deteleting your ~/.lives file. LiVES will recreate this with default settings
on the next start up.
Make sure there is plenty of space available in the temporary directory
(default is /tmp/livestmp).
It is advisable to change the temp directory from Tools | Preferences | Directories
Run through Help -> Troubleshoot in the app and see if anything is missing.
If you are having problems encoding, make sure you have everything you need
installed. The plugins are just interfaces, and you need to have the binaries
installed also. Some of the encoder formats have other dependencies, the LiVES website has more details.
Problems opening files
----------------------
If you have problems opening a particular video file, try to preview
it first in the 'open file' dialogue. If you cannot preview it, it means mplayer is not
compiled to open it. You may need to recompile mplayer for your system
with extra libraries.
Note that current versions of LiVES no longer require mplayer to open some file types. For example dv format
can be opened with libdv and the dv_decoder plugin. Ogg/theora can be opened with libogg and libtheora.
If you are having problems opening video, edit /usr/bin/smogrify, and near the top put:
$DEBUG_OPEN=1;
you will then see the mplayer open command on the console, which can
be cut and pasted into a terminal window.
Finally, if you are still having problems, join the lives-video
mailing list and you can ask your question there !
