I am SO SORRY for needing such basic assistance but, I'm completely out of my element. Thanks for your understanding...
I followed Gert's instructions:
Yes, You need to build the exiv2 first: (and You can replace
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr)
(copy'n'paste from
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/SvnAlongStable)
svn checkout <A HREF="svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk">svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk exiv2
cd exiv2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
make
sudo make install
I ended up with the following:
...
Checked out revision 2408.
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~$ cd exiv2
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2$ mkdir build
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2$ cd build
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull-

Yes, I can see that I don't have cMakeLists.txt. However, where do I get this single file and where do I put it now that I'm apparently replacing
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
Do I need to "patch" this as well? If so, how and where?
Indeed, although I'm learning (as you can tell by my questions, right?), I still need help every step of the way. I appreciate everybody's gracious assistance but please don't assume that if you leave something incredibly basic out, I'll be able to add it. I'm like a passenger on an aircraft who has had no choice but to jump into the pilot's seat after the latter has keeled over. I need to be told every minutae of the process by somebody on the ground so that I can safely land this puppy.

Hi.
Keep the exiv folder.
The digikam/kipi-plugins and kexiv folders should be safe to delete.
