Tarball Install Problem

The 0.10 tarball, like every KDE4 application, is built with cmake, not
autotools.

Look here:
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download?q=download/KDE4

There is also a link for (K)Ubuntu build instructions.

From what you said I suppose you downloaded digikam version 0.10.0...
Now digiKam (and all KDE 4) uses cmake instead of ./configure. So, when
you are in the source directory, instead of the old
./configure && make && make install

You should use:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && make install

If you want to change something you can use for example:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/

See this:

Did you tried using one of these inexpensive usb card readers out there?
You just need to plug your camera memory card, and plug the reader to a
usb port to get your photos... Maybe it's also faster than plug your
camera (you can leave the card reader connected), and you problem caused
by exhausted batteries on your camera.
Almost any card reader will work "out of th box" with your linux system.

bye bye

Hello!

I'm sorry to hijack this thread, but I have to.

Ocassionally I'm using a built-in cardreader from Lenovo (ThinkCentre  
A61, AMD, Desktop) but this thing just annoys me. One has to reboot  
the machine to make it recognize any cards. So I'm looking for a card  
reader for a while ...

... but I did not know which one to choose. Googling did not help that  
much. Is there a list of compatible devices out there?

Thanks!

You mean you actually found an incompatible card reader? I use a Hama 35 in 1
usb reader from a photo store. Works fine!

I have cheap one: "SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1" that works like charm.

Me too... I tried 6 o 7 anonymous card readers (I own a couple of them), most of time they are chinese, I can say that they always work without any problem, almost for me. Just buy an inexpensive one, I've seen a lot of them sold for less than 10-15 euros out there.
In the worst case, if the one you grab don't work, you can give it to a friend and try another one...

good luck
gerlos
