mlt bindings not being found

Try installing OpenShot from the PPA, and this should be fixed. Just be
sure to uninstall any packages installed via the DEB installers first. Good
luck!

I've find this bug with OpenShot 1.0.0 and Ubuntu 9.10

The following is a command that should solve for any versions:

ln -s $(ls -C /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.* | cut -f 1 -d' ') /usr/lib/libmlt++.so.2
