good day all ..

just starting playing with various pano tools in linux. i'm tring to get autopano-sift 2.4 to
work for me. my system is a suse 9.3 x86_64 box. the error i get from the command line run is:

mgx at lance:~/pano> autopano-complete.sh  -o stevout.pto stev1.jpg stev2.jpg stev3.jpg stev4.jpg
Remaining arguments (4):
--> `stev1.jpg'
--> `stev2.jpg'
--> `stev3.jpg'
--> `stev4.jpg'

i get a similar error if i run the gtksharp version:
