Are you using the Fedora 13 rpm?

Hi, Theodotos

I am using the Fedora 14 Desktop edition.
And I downloaded the http://killobyte.com/openshot/openshot-1.2.2-1.src.rpm which is for fedora 13
Do you have something in your mind..??

Thank you

Yes. It could be some library incompatibility from 13 to 14. Try this in terminal (as root):

  rpm -Uvh openshot-1.2.2-1.src.rpm

and give us the output to trace the error.

Ok I did it here is the output

[root@Fedora Desktop]# rpm -Uvh openshot-1.2.2-1.src.rpm
   1:openshot warning: user jonathan does not exist - using root
warning: group jonathan does not exist - using root

After creating the jonathan user and group the output from the terminal is the following

[root@Fedora Desktop]# rpm -Uvh openshot-1.2.2-1.src.rpm
   1:openshot ########################################### [100%]
[root@Fedora Desktop]#

I have to say that if I double click the rpm to install it I get the following error

Backend will not install a src rpm file

It seems that everything was install without errors. Can you paste the output of the following command in the Pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com)

  rpm -q --filesbypkg openshot

This will show us where the executable is installed.

Also I noticed a package called RPM Installer. Maybe you will have better lack with that one.

Can you help with this problem?
