Digikam crashing on launching for the first time

[Swati Lodha]

Hello

I built digiKam successfully but when I launched it first time, I encountered the following error:

I have no idea what your problem is. However you should never run a
normal application like digikam as root. The root user should be used
for the absolute minimum necessary when changing system configuration
etc. For everything else, run as a regular user.
