Just a stupid question but have you check the dependencies; here :
http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=33

After you have just perhaps a problem with python. Try that :
echo $PYTHONPATH
if it a empty string the pythonpath is not defined. You can do that to repare that :
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ if of course you have python2.6 in /usr/lib  but try to know your version (andafter  replace the place with your actual version )with this : whereis python
Thanks

Bug description:
I installed this software with the wizard (version 0.9.54) on my Slackware 13 . The installation process doesn't give errors , but when I try to launch openshot , the program doesn't start .... launching it from a terminal gives me these message : 

--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 0.9.54)
--------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
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 understood the message , but I didn't find a solution yet . Reading some forums I noticed that this problem is common in non Debian-based systems .
