<p dir="ltr">Gilles,</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

No. Macports team is late to update digiKam under OSX. It still 4.0.0.<br>
<br>
I use digiKam under my Macbook (in parallel of Linux of course). Here<br>
i use current code. This is my tutorial (just updated) :<br>

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