It ran perfectly with the wave file though. I've installed the ogg vorbis plugin and it runs fine in Designer. Is there something else I need to do?

You can also check if Hollywood has correctly loaded the plugin by looking at its output at program start.... does it say "Loading plugin oggvorbis.hwp...failed" or "Loading plugin oggvorbis.hwp...done"?

There are no fails reported during the process at all.

It doesn't matter what it says during compiling, you still need to install oggvorbis.hwp on Linux too because Designer doesn't automatically link plugins into executables. So you need to download the Ogg Vorbis plugin for Linux, place it in the same directory as the executable compiled by Designer, and then start the executable. Then it should work...

Anyway, it still doesn't work. Does it have to be in a sub-directory?

$ ls -la
