Hi,

....and let me add the following: even if someone is desperate
to compile cinelerra from source (maybe because he wants to patch
her), if you are on ubuntu (or even debian), its always a good idea
to use a well maintained package like currently the akirad packages.

You can always recompile a debian (or ubuntu) package from source,
which has two distinct advantages over compling "the hard way":
- you can use the package manager to resolve the build dependencies
- your self-compiled software becomes a first-class citizen and also
  can be replaced/removed from the system cleanly using the package
  manager.

How?
- get the NAME.orig.tar.gz, NAME.diff.gz and NAME.dsc from the repository
- dpkg-source -x NAME.dsc
- dpkg-source -b NAME
and then install the resulting *deb packages with sudo dpkg -i XXX.deb

from within the build directory you can check the build dependencies
with dpkg-checkbuilddeps

To get the basic capability of compiling on a debian system:

sudo apt-get install build-essential


hope that helps,
Cheers,
Hermann
