[gentoo-user] Hugin, autopano-sift-C and it's not working anymore.

Hi,

I recently installed Hugin and autopano-sift-C and the first couple
times, it worked like a champ.  Now, it gives me a error like this when
I load images or tell it to try to match up my pics:

> command: autopano-sift-c --maxmatches 10 /tmp/ap_res0eoHtu 
> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0011.jpeg"
> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0012.jpeg"
> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0013.jpeg"
> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0014.jpeg"
> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0015.jpeg"

> "/data/Camera-pics/2009/PANORAMIC_Pics/Source-pics/2009-01-23-0017.jpeg"
> failed with error code: 255

What I have done:

1: delete the .hugin file in my home directory.
2: emerge -C hugin and autopano-sift-C
3: re-emerge hugin, then re-emerge hugin and autopano-sift-C
4: tried to use the autopano-sift package with all its children.
5: emerge -C autopano-sift and go back to autopano-sift-C
6: pestered the stew out of Google.  Tried other settings they
recommended with no help.

As I said, it worked the first couple times.  Anybody have a clue why it
stopped?  I would think if it was a bad setting on my part that deleting
the .hugin file would fix that.

In preferences I have autopano-sift-c for the command and --maxmatches
%p %o %i for the options.  That is the default values. 

Ideas?  Thanks.

Dale
