Hi, the problem is a non-ascii character in a soundfile path, and the codec is unable to encode it correctly. You can workaround this by trashing the ".cecilia5" folder, located in your home directory, and use only plain ascii characters in folder and file names.

I figured out by reading the manual that I had to install the source code and other various programs.

Thank you for making Cecilia.
