digiKam 4.0.0 hanging after checking "ICC repository" in OSX 10.10

Monroe, Will
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

No. Macports team is late to update digiKam under OSX. It still 4.0.0.

I use digiKam under my Macbook (in parallel of Linux of course). Here
i use current code. This is my tutorial (just updated) :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/digikam-software-compilation/repository/revisions/master/entry/README.MACOSX

The whole current Macports packages still used, but not digiKam.
Current implementation from KDE git repository is used

I fixed something about in last version, if i remember...

Do you really install the +debug versions of the dependencies, as stated
in README.MACOSX?
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).

strange. Yes, i do it. But my Macports install is old. This can be the
difference.

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

In reply to this post by Gilles Caulier-4

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.

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.

Will

Re: digiKam 4.0.0 hanging after checking "ICC repository" in OSX 10.10

Gilles Caulier-4
No, never until now.

Sound like a Macports mirror problem. Look into Macports bugzilla if
somebody has already reported this dysfunction.
