Woo hoo!<BR>
<BR>
Since I understand Frenglish as well as I understand Linux ( I say that with all due respect, Nicolas!) I wasn't able to immediately understand that I had to go into the src directory and install the libexiv deb. Eventually, this is exactly what I did. Nicolas, you are a saviour: digiKam is now running with exiv2 .20 ! Merci, merci, merci!<BR>
<BR>
As soon as I wash the blood and gore from myself, set my bones and and suture the wounds, I'll be able to get back out there and take pictures again with my fine D90. Then, hopefully, I won't have to wait 3 moon phases before each download is processed in digiKam as I initially did.<BR>

In spite of not hearing back from somebody I went ahead and followed these guidelines. At the conclusion of the incredibly longggg build, I opened digiKam and looked at the components. Damn; that infuriatingly buggy exiv2 1.9 was still there <IMG SRC="cid:1292882747.2689.3.camel@hevii-NtBk-1" ALIGN="middle" ALT="X-(" BORDER="0"><BR>

Has anybody else got a suggestion or, is everybody tired of this. I know that I am but, I've got no choice but to go on if I have any hope of getting this program to operate properly. I suppose that I can always boot back into Windoze and run Adobe Bridge, eh? Grrrrr....<BR>

I'm sure that there must be a perfectly logical reason for it but, I still don't understand why there isn't a simple deb available with all of the necessary stuff. I mean it the humblest manner possible when I ask <B>why must everybody have to reinvent the wheel??</B> It may be fun to some but, for those of us who aren't programmers by trade but are mere butchers, bakers and candle stick makers, it ranks up there with going to the dentist in terms of pleasure factor.<BR>
