Application failed to initialize

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,

I got a popup error message during loading: Application failed to initialize

What's wrong ?

[mike admin]

Did you install binary package? Can you run makemkvcon? What is the output of "ldd /usr/bin/makemkvcon" ?

I have a similar problem, having built 1.4 as per http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 (but for Fedora 10 x86_64) and running makemkv I get /usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/makemkvcon)

running ldd on makemkvcon (libcrypto.so.0.9.8g is being used by symlink) gives:
ldd /usr/bin/makemkvcon

running ldd -v /usr/bin/makemkvcon
gives

Version information:

the OPENSSL_0.9.8 not found is interesting given that /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8g exists
and I've created symlinks to it of /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8 and /lib64/libssl.so for good measure.

Thanks for the info, we'll investigate.

Hi!
I've compiled MakeMKV and have the same issue. Strangely enough ldd out/makemkv does not show libmakemkv or libdriveio. I'm using Debina Sid/Unstable amd64
out dir contains this files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 nlj nlj 28032 2009-04-17 07:08 libdriveio.so.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nlj nlj 39037 2009-04-17 07:08 libdriveio.so.0.full
-rw-r--r-- 1 nlj nlj 618800 2009-04-17 07:09 libmakemkv.so.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nlj nlj 904514 2009-04-17 07:09 libmakemkv.so.0.full
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nlj nlj 355680 2009-04-17 07:09 makemkv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nlj nlj 404477 2009-04-17 07:09 makemkv.full

Compilation went without any errors or even warnings.

Two other questions:
Have you considered using some sort of autoconfig tools (like configure and all that stuff)?
I see that you included a libmatroska (0.8.0 while I have 0.8.1 installed from .deb) and libebml sources. Wouldn't it be better to use system installed files and eventually link to them.

I see where confusion comes from. makemkv is jut a GUI for a console program named makemkvcon. It is installed from binary package andis not open source. You must install both packages for MakeMKV to work. Make sure that "ldd /usr/bin/makemkvcon" works.

There is no need for that for now.

As I remember we've made some changes to these libraries so default system libraries will not provide necessary functionality.

OK. My fault. Was too excited to read carefully announcement =o))

Well... It depends. In a thread around someone is asking for /opt as default instalation path. Tho I don't mind /opt, I don't like /usr/bin & /usr/lib as it pollutes systems dirs most of the time controlled by packaging system (like deb or rpm). It would be nice if it allowed installation path to be chosen at the build stage (either as some define for Makefile or some ./configure-type build system). Of course this is just kind request that you can easily trash =o)))) but if you are considering things like that it's better to that from start than fight with this later (I work as a sysadm so this side of me is quite strong even on private systems like laptops)

=o) That explains it well. Have you considered sending patches upstream?

Just to let you all know:
Installing makemkv_v1.4.1_beta_bin.tar.gz made the error from thread's title disappear =o)
Of course there is no neeed to install binaries from above tgz in /usr/bin. They just need to be in $PATH.
Thanks again for effort to bring this app to Linux =o)

Good to hear. Next version should have openssl incompatibility corrected.

This is corrected in 1.4.2

Received the "Application failed to initialize" error message when attempting to run the "/usr/bin/makemkv"

The problem seems to be that I only extracted and installed the first file on the linux makemkv download page called "http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... bin.tar.gz":

The solution was to extract and install the "http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... oss.tar.gz" file as well. Only after I did this was I able to run the application correctly.

Many thanks for the software, happy to see a version for linux.

The Linux download page is here: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

Sal,

I run a firewall in Ubuntu and I feel like it is pretty necessary when working in makemkv or any kind of youtube to mp3 converter. I have been playing around with also protecting the system by adding files to a cloud server that need a bit more protection. I am at three layers of security at the moment and am trying to find a way to add a fourth. If you all have any good recommendations I am more than willing to listen up.

Dear All,
I am in a big problem. After some times, my system stop responding to
the applications.
I got the message.
THE application failed to initialize properly(0XC0000142).Click on OK
to terminate the application
in nearly every application(still I found it in all .EXE files).
Apart from it, When I try to open a webpage, to load complete web page.
I have to refresh the page many times. I tried everything, I got only
one problem. iKernel.dll i.e. PROXY-OSS installed on my system.
Operating System: WINDOWS 2000 SERVER SP4.
Please help me out with this problem.
I also got the message "Application popup: Explorer.EXE - Application
Error : The instruction at "0x35f77d5a" referenced memory at
"0x000000e4". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program "

Thanks and regards

I had the "Application failed to initialize" problem. ldd showed the libraries were OK in both makemkvcon and makemkv. makemkvcon didn't fail abruptly.

What happened: I'd altered the makefile to install in /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin.
Somehow makemkvcon still got installed in /usr/bin. However it happened, it looks like the "Application failed to initialize" problem was that makemkvcon was in a different directory than makemkv:
1. When I copied makemkv to /usr/bin, it worked.
2. When I copied makemkvcon to /usr/local/bin, and then ran /usr/local/bin/makemkv, /usr/local/bin/makemkv now worked.
So I suspect a relative path is hard-coded into makemkv.

So if you've modified the Makefile, and are getting this error, check to see if makemkv and makemkvcon are in the same directory.
