I *hate* bothering you with such basic questions but, I've no choice. Thank you for your understanding...<BR>

The instructions that you've kindly provided to me are to install an svg package alongside the stable package. Are you now saying that I should just get rid of my stable package completely before I try to complile?<BR>

You would have to uninstall it using the package management tools of
your distribution - for ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get remove digikam'. However,
you should first remove it, otherwise your installation overwrites the
files which apt-get thinks are in the package, and then they may be
removed when you uninstall.

Once you ran 'make install', yes, you can remove the build folder.
