Hi Kreuger,
I installed it some times ago, and I remember facing such troubles.
Assuming you're using Ubuntu, here're what packages I got installed on my Ubuntu. I can now use the app', even if it always fails with one particular .cam file.
'cause my mimic-tools, installed from the deb linked at the beginning of this topic, claims to depend on libmimic1.0.4.
I think my problem (and so yours) was that the official libmimic was 1.0.4-2 and the mimic-tools wanted a libmimic 1.0.4.
So I found an old 1.0.4 and it worked!
At least, I hope it could help you... Otherwise, sorry for the false hope!
