Yes, but I have not received it.

We have received several email of people reporting that mtv/mtvp
does not work at all on some recent distributions of Corel linux.
Is Corel Linux based on Debian ?

In all cases, 'mtvp -h' seg faults immediately.  
normally 'mtvp -h' should just print a help  message
and exit.  usually when this type of thing happens, it is something
broken with the libraries.  mtvp is one of the few multithreaded
applications, and anything broken in the thread support would be fatal
for mtvp.

Hi, I would very much like to use your mtv software.  But I'm having
trouble running it under Corel.  You can see what I wrote below.  I was
trying to save you time by being short and to the point.  Maybe it was
too short and that is why it was ignored.  Can this be run under Corel? 
I would appreciate a response, even it the answer is just, no, won't
work.  That way I won't have to keep following up and trying various
methods to get an answer.  Thanks.

Problem:  I enter:  $ mtvp -h
          Result:     Segmentation fault

My OS: Linux version 2.2.12 (root@cricket) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #1 SMP
Tue Nov 9 14:11:25 EST 1999

mtv packages installed: mtv_1.1.0.20-3_i386.deb
                        mtv-fullscreen-extension_1.1.0.20-3_i386.deb

Library/kernel version type issue?  Is there a compatible package for my
system?

You asked:

What is the version or name of the corel distribution that you use?

The name is Corel Linux OS Deluxe.  There is no version number, I think
this is the first release.

However proc/version returns: Linux version 2.2.12 (root@cricket) (gcc
version 2.7.2.3) #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 14:11:25 EST 1999

Note the SMP and 2.2.12.  Perhaps these are issues?  I would love to
assist with this, unfortunately at the moment I am a little over
utilized.  Corel Linux is pretty neat and seems to be immediately
popular, I hope you guys will eventually find time to look into this but
I understand and appreciate your situation.  Is there some practical way
I can find out if and when you do look into this?  It would be so neat
to have that working on my Linux system.  Thanks.

I downloaded mpegtv 1.1.0.20-3 (.deb version) from linuxberg and installed it
in Corel Linux -which seems to be the same as debian. 

However, when I tried to execute mtv I get the error 'Segmentation fault'

What could cuase this problem?

thanx
