I am SO SORRY for needing such basic assistance but, I'm completely out of my element. Thanks for your understanding...<BR>
<BR>
I followed Gert's instructions:<BR>
<BR>
Yes, You need to build the exiv2 first: (and You can replace<BR>
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr)<BR>
(copy'n'paste from <A HREF="http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/SvnAlongStable">http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/SvnAlongStable</A>)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
svn checkout <A HREF="svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk">svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk</A> exiv2<BR>
cd exiv2<BR>
mkdir build<BR>
cd build<BR>
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..<BR>
make<BR>
sudo make install<BR>
<BR>
I ended up with the following: <BR>
<BR>
...<BR>
Checked out revision 2408.<BR>
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~$ cd exiv2<BR>
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2$ mkdir build<BR>
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2$ cd build<BR>
heviiguy@hevii-NtBk-2:~/exiv2/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull-<BR>
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/heviiguy/exiv2/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.<BR>
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.<BR>

Yes, I can see that I don't have cMakeLists.txt. However, where do I get this single file and where do I put it now that I'm apparently replacing<BR>
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr<BR>
<BR>
Do I need to "patch" this as well? If so, how and where?<BR>
<BR>
Indeed, although I'm learning (as you can tell by my questions, right?), I still need help every step of the way. I appreciate everybody's gracious assistance but please don't assume that if you leave something incredibly basic out, I'll be able to add it. I'm like a passenger on an aircraft who has had no choice but to jump into the pilot's seat after the latter has keeled over. I need to be told every minutae of the process by somebody on the ground so that I can safely land this puppy.<BR>

Hi.
Keep the exiv folder.
The digikam/kipi-plugins and kexiv folders should be safe to delete.
