This is really annoyting, but this configure/make stuff is
beyond me ...

This shouldn't be the case. Did you also remove
the kexiv2 stuff before installing?
(I think this is also necessery ...)

Hmm, I am puzzled as well, all paths look fine to me
(though I normally use
export DIGIKAMDEST=/tmp/DEV_digikam
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMDEST:/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDPATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib/pkgconfig

i.e., I add the "original" paths via :$PATH etc...)

The only idea I have:
Did you do run kbuildsycoca after setting the environment variables?

Concerning the time-difference and IRC: you are not in Poland
currently, as your e-mail might suggest? ;-)

Best, Arnd
