Digikam 0.9.3 can't build thumbnails

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all,

I finally got around to loading the 0.9.3 version of Digikam from Achim's repository ( https://launchpad.net/~allee/+archive/ ). It installed fine, but no thumbnails show up. When run from the command line, I get this:

$ digikam
Found dcraw version: 8.83
digikam: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamthumbnail'.
digikam:
digikam: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamthumbnail'.
digikam:
digikam: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'.
digikam:
digikam: WARNING: Failed to list url: Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_digikamalbums'.

I'm running Kubuntu Gutsy AMD-64. Any help would be appreciated!

Paul, your KDE3 variable settings is not fine. I have discovered the
same problem with KDE4...

This is my post from digikam-devel mailing list about a same problem
to run digiKam for KDE4, where kio-slave are not started properlly:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnd,

For KDE4 with Mandriva 2008.1, there is a script named "k4" which
initialize all env. bash variable to be able to run a KDE4 application
under KDE3. Look the new env created :

[gilles@localhost ~]$ export > k1.txt
[gilles@localhost ~]$ k4
[gilles@localhost ~]$ export > k2.txt
[gilles@localhost ~]$ diff k1.txt k2.txt

Something similar must be done to run properly a KDE3 application
under Gnome for ex.

Hi Gilles,

It turns out that this was not my problem. I had a dangling symlink to a non-existent lib in /usr/local. Getting rid of that did the trick. Thanks for making me dig deep enough to find it!

I don't know, I removed it ;-)

I think it was a libkdcraw library.  If memory serves me correctly, I had to create a symlink from libkdcraw.x.y.z.so to libkdcraw.so, or something like that.  This was an attempt to get digikam SVN to compile, which I never got fully working anyway...  HTH!

Paul
