Digikam 1.0.0-beta3 in Debian with KDE4.3 - rebuild required

Dear fellow Digikam users,

I installed KDE4.3 from Debian sid today and Digikam 1.0.0-beta3 did not
show any images in albums any more. I could solve the problem by
re-building the digikam-package.

Hope this info is useful for those upgrading to 4.3 on Debian.

Greetings,

Mike

Strange I had 0.10.0 installed and there were no images. So I rebuilt .deb
packages and installed them. Then images appeared in albums.

Now I compiled 1.0.0-beta3 from source and images are gone again.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3 packages from kubuntu-ppa.

I hate to reply to myself, but ...

digikam, if built from source, will use /usr/local for installation prefix.
This will break it and you won't get to see any images in your folders.

To fix the problem use:

rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde-config --prefix`

Thanks to @cryogenic for the tip. :)

Hang on, so with KDE4.3 digikam is now *required* to be installed alongside all the other KDE apps? It's no longer possible to have a private build/install? I do not want to install the betas from source over the top of the standard OS version (which is installed using the OS package system) but I do want to test them.  I've upgraded to 4.3 and all my images have disappeared. I'm not happy. Can you expand your answer explaining why this is required now and if there is any plan to fix it? (last thing I want to do is revert to v0.10.0). I've verified that digikam now ignores new files in the album directories as well as the old.

Building the svn version doesn't fix anything.

Tim

AFAIK yes. When I built beta from the source and install it with default prefix
in /usr/local I encountered this bug with images not being displayed in the
albums.

I have no idea why this is happening, but my best guess would be that some
library is not getting loaded when digikam is installed in /usr/local but I am
not sure if this is digikam's problem. Could also be a KDE issue with some
path hard coded somewhere by accident.

First of all thanks to you, David, for the tip! This way I finally got
a working digiKam in my Debian unstable (where beta2 and beta3 keep
segfaulting on my PPC).

But I'm with Tim: it is really annoying having to install a programm in
the system environment, instead of in "/usr/local/" (or wherever I
want it). If there is just a hardcoded path somewhere, I hope that
someone fixes it soon.

By the way: "kde-config" is in the package "kdelibs4c2a", which was not
installed in my system yet.

Regards,
Vlado
