FYI Kurt usinf Fedora I ran into similar issues as you have been dealing with. Since then I switched to Ubuntu Studio which includes and supports many other useful A/V applications and Cinelerra installs quite easily from the Akirad Repository as well. Just a suggestion so perhaps your students can spend more time being creative and less time trying to hack in a working version of cinelerra.
