Thanks for the 'jack' support, I've seen a couple of 'complaints' about that.
I tried to append 2 clips with different formats, it failed due to lack of the 'convert' module. There does seem to be something major missing,
Another problem which appears to be a lives bug but so basic I can't believe it is. Tried to delete about 8 frames from the end of a clip. It copied them to the clipboard then started to delete them. 1 hour later it was still deleting them. Tried that twice on 2 different clips both times with the same result.
Any thoughts?

Here's what was displayed when I ran the LiVES menu option, after installing the dependent libraries, etc and restarted:
Another window was displayed that contained the following message:
This was all done a PC running Puppy v2.17
Any other thoughts?

LiVES was unable to locate 'composite'. You should install composite and image-magick if you want to use the merge function.
Any other thoughts?
Okay, here's what I get when I start Lives:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
convert & composite are from imagemagick and I've posted that here:

Getting better - I've installed everything you have provided plinej (except for jack, that will come) and lives has no other complaints. Also, all dependancy requirements have been fulfilled.
The problem with deleting (mentioned previously) goes much further. Almost everything I've tried never completes. The 'Im Doing It' box saying 'something' is happening with the button running backwards and forwards never goes away and can't be closed with the close button. BUT I suspect the process has completed sometimes. Hard to prove because after being killed, when lives is restarted and you try to load the previously created 'clip set' it goes into one of the endless 'I'm Doing It!!!' routines.
My initial suspicions centre around a failure to communicate with the 'Im Doing It' box, or a failure to communicate between processes.
Where appropriate the msg 'Frames copied to clipboard' always appears in the log window as the last entry.
When I started to write this I was thinking about libraries at the wrong version. Having writen it I realise that different kernels could also be involved. Mmmmmm!
Anyone have any useful thoughts?
cheers
