To me it seems that you are mixing the build directory
with the destination to which the installation should go:
I.e. instead of
DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/programs/src/svn/digikam4/build
I would suggest
DIGIKAMKDE4=$HOME/programs/soft_digikam4
(or whatever name you choose).
The reason is that later on you do
  cd ~/programs/src/svn/digikam4/graphics
  rm -rf build
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DIGIKAMKDE4 ../../graphics
which means that anything which you installed into
$HOME/programs/src/svn/digikam4/graphics/build
before will be removed. In particular this should remove
the previously installed libkexiv2 & Co.!

HTH, best, Arnd
