digikam source install on Slack 10.0
 

Hello,

I am having difficultly installing digikam 0.73 on a Slack 10.0 system. I downloaded the following and installed from source (unless otherwise noted):

gphoto2
libgphoto2
imlib2
libkipi
libkexif

*** the others I appeared to have already (kdelibs, qt, gdbm)

I don't have all the version info (at work pc so using memory here!). But imlib2 apparently needs freetype installed. Now, I'm not familiar with it but I downloaded two different packages for imlib2 to install. Then I went for the digikam compile.

1) ./configure (all YES at the end, didn't see anything missing)
2) make (BOMBS!...from memory but something about libfreetype.so not being in /usr/lib).

So, I updatedb and did a locate (I know...I really need to learn the find syntax)...libfreetype.so is at /usr/lib!!!

So now, I'm in that WTF stage? Any ideas? I'll be able to copy paste exact error later today but I'm pretty certain I got the gist. KDE version is 3.3.2 (upgraded from 10.0 default).

Thanks!

copy-paste the error...

M.

I have this
 

I don't remember where I got it from but I have 'digikam-0.6.2-i486-1mht.tgz'. I just installed it. I'm not sure how it got uninstalled, but it's reinstalled. Supposedly, digikam is supposed to come with KDE, but perhaps it was left out of the Slackware version.

HTH

Here's the end of a ./configure:

-- digiKam configure results -------------------
-- imlib2 found................... YES
-- gphoto2 found.................. YES

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

root@mydomain:/data/download/src/digikam/digikam-0.7.3#
*************************************************
Here's the end of make where the errors are:

And here's a locate:

Oh yeah, I did a ldconfig before the ./configure and make...no difference.
