It's my first hour with OpenShot, so I may be missing something.
However, I ran the Jaunty PPA version (0.9.43) on top of Debian testing
and received the above error.  After a bit of playing around, I found
that _mlt.so is now apparently linked to libmlt++.so.3, and it seems
that libmlt++2 from the PPA repository only provides libmlt++.so.2.
However, libmlt++3, which provides libmlt++.so.3, replaces libmlt++2, so
I simply installed the files manually.  Then _mlt.so demands libmlt.so.2
instead of libmlt.so.1, so I installed the libmlt2 manually as well.
OpenShot then comes close to starting (generating a new frmMain), but
then dies when it cannot access memory at address 0x80.  I should note
that I tried the reverse of the fix above, symbolically linking
libmlt++.so.3 to libmlt++.so.2, but then _mlt.so complains about an
undefined symbol _ZN3Mlt10Properties13pass_propertyERS0_PKc.  I also
tried the Karmic PPA version (0.9.43) for good measure, but OpenShot
fails with the same error.  Hopefully this analysis helps in some way.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Released

Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.

After installing 0.9.42 from PPA, when I run openshot that is what I get:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.42)
--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
Error:  OpenShot has not been installed in the Python path.
(Both the site-packages and /usr/share/openshot folders were checked)

Use the following command to install OpenShot:
  $ sudo python setup.py install
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't find 'setup.py' on the openshot package.
I have other PPA respositories in use so maybe there is an issue with them. I can't really be sure about this.
