synfig is a command line program. I never used it but it seems to have to write an input (SIF) file and then run something like "synfig youfile.sif", maybe yopu neeed some options.

The package synfigstudio provides a graphical interface for synfig. Maybe you want to used that instead.

Can you help with this problem?
