Hi,

i'm not sure what you really got, but i could tell you what you need and what to do with it. You could use the latest SVN snapshot for installing digiKam. You could get both tar archives using the following links

1st one is KIPI, providing kipi-plugins, libexif and libkipi
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots/kdeextragear-libs.tar.bz2

2nd tarball includes digikam and digikamimageplugins
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/snapshots/kdeextragear-graphics.tar.bz2

please download them both to a directory that you want, e.g. /tmp
open konsole and enter
cd /tmp
tar xvjf kdeextragear-libs.tar.bz2
tar xvjf kdeextragear-graphics.tar.bz2
cd kdeextragear-libs*
./configure
make

if everything had compiled successfully, you  need to get root to install KIPI. Use
sudo make install

After that you should compile and install digikam itself.
cd /tmp/kdeextragear-graphics*
./configure
make
sudo make install

Now you should have an actual copy of the latest digiKam version from SVN.

Remark 1: Depending on what you have done before with your installation you might need additional packages to install before you could compile it successfully.
Remark 2: It might be a good idea to tell the whole process where to find everything. You could do this easily by setting some environment variables, after opening konsole.
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/kde3/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
or similar. This depends on your distribution the lines above are correct for SuSE. Simply search for the directories by yourself.

Hope this help you installing digiKam.

Oliver

IMO, if you're on a distribution with a recent Digikam and plugins, use the
package manager, rather than mess around with compiling.  Those using Debian
or Ubuntu can take advantage of Achim Bonnet's packages of 0.80 beta2 if you
don't want to use the older packages that come in the distro.
