Missing libkexif.so.1, where can I get it?

[Chris Green]

I have digikam 0.9.0-beta3 and I've just realised that some of my
problems with it are because it can't find libkexif.so.1.  The version
option reports as follows:-

    server$ digikam -v
    Qt: 3.3.6
    KDE: 3.5.4
    digiKam: 0.9.0-beta3

So how can I get libkexif.so.1, should it have been installed with one
of the above?  Whatever, how can I sort things out?  (This is a
Slackware 11 system by the way)

compile and install libkexif using source code :

Thanks - that was easy, it configured, compiled and installed without
any problems.

Now I *do* have the "Rotate" option!   :-)


Sorry I didn't spot the startup error before folks, but anyway it's
sorted now.

By the way what (if anything) should have included the libkexif.so.1
library?

libkexif :)

In a packaged system, it's usually pulled in as an automatic dependency for
the plugins package.

Ah, OK.

The reason I didn't see it of course is that it's a plugin dependency
rather than a basic Digikam dependency.  I found all the other bits I
needed simply by running the Digikam I had installed and seeing the
loader error messages but the libkexif dependency doesn't show up this
way.
