Hello,
I'm new to digiKam and the listserv. After doing a fair amount of research to find the best open source photo management tool to use on a few machines running Xubuntu 14.04 and OSX 10.10, I've settled on digiKam. The excellent tutorials from http://ninedegreesbelow.com/ describing how to use digiKam for digital asset management were a big part of my decision. Installing digiKam on Xubuntu 14.04 has been very simple. No troubles at all. But installing digiKam on OSX 10.10 has been a little difficulty. Here's what I've done: 1. Installed macports 2. Ran 'sudo port install digikam' to successfully install digiKam (see install log http://bit.ly/1xTvZDw). 3. Ran 'launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist' 4. Started digiKam which, during first run, allowed me to choose various options for photo import, etc. However, digiKam hangs when the splash image displays "checking ICC repository" (see log http://bit.ly/1xTw3Dq). I've tried logging out, restarting, deleting all preferences, and I've completely uninstalled macports and removed all associated files using this method http://bit.ly/1yc1JTs Although re-installation seems to be successful, I still have run into the same problem each time. I've searched a bit for similar errors and most the advice seems to suggest running: 'launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist' and/or 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE' I've also found a recommendation here https://community.kde.org/Mac#Running_KDE_Applications suggesting that running 'launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist' with 'sudo' is preferable to running as a normal user. I'm not quite sure what to make of that discrepancy but my '~/Library/Preferences/KDE' all belong to my user account or to 'staff' so I can't see what the problem might be. I'm also not sure how to proceed with my troubleshooting at this point. If anyone has advice on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it. All the best, Will _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

In project/macosx, macports-install.sh does not use the +debug flag for the dependencies, but BUILD.txt still says to compile dK using debugfull. I ask because I once did install the dependencies using +debug and then could not compile dK. After reinstalling the dependencies without +debug, I could compile dK (with debugfull). _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I will drop all macports and re-install it from scratch to see if problem happen.

Gilles, Thanks for your reply! Your response suggests that I could avoid some of the problems I experienced installing on OSX if I followed your tutotrial, installed the relevant packages from macports and then built the latest version of digiKam from source rather than just installing digiKam from macports as I've done. I'll give that a try. Will On Nov 29, 2014 4:26 AM, "Gilles Caulier" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Giles,
I realize this is probably the wrong forum to ask about this but when I attempted to install the dependency below: sudo port -v install kdelibs4 +debug I got this error: Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port py27-cairo returned: cairo must be installed with +x11 and without +quartz. After adjusting /etc/macports/variants.conf with the recommended changes, I tried again and it failed. Have you seen errors like this? If so, do you have any advice? I begin with a completely clean install of macports so this was a surprise.

No, never until now.
Sound like a Macports mirror problem. Look into Macports bugzilla if somebody has already reported this dysfunction.
