I totally agree. I must be possible to install the stuff very easily. I 
consider this to be very important, because I don't think you should be a 
linux expert to use a video expert. Actually I think you schouldn't need to 
know anything about the details of the build process. 

It's not that easy to cope with the many dependencies of piave 
( libxml2 / libxml++ / libdv / gdb-pixbuf / SDL / soon: freetype2/ffmpeg )
especiealy in this stage of alpha development. I am aware of the problem and 
it will be taken care of. Maybe I should make patchlevel releases whenever 
the configuration/installation is in a consistent/easy to use state?
