"Application Failed to Initialize" w/ 1.6.6 on Debian

#1 Post by kenyee » Fri Apr 08, 2011 1:41 pm

Anyone ever see this or know of any way to get a more useful error msg?

Compile/install had no errors, but when I run makemkv, it puts up this error msg in a dialog box
System is 64-bit aptsid (Debian latest sid).

makemkv is just a GUI frontend to makemkvcon . What happens when you run makemkvcon directly?

Code: Select all

makemkvcon info disc:0
p.s. Please tell me that you've installed BOTH open-source and binary packages.

ok...I installed both packages...but I'm lying :-)
Probably need a message in makemkv like "install the binary package as well, you idiot!" when it can't find makemkvcon or any binaries it links to instead of saying "failed to initialize" :-)

Works fine now...thanks.
