Lois is right (his message went to mailing list):
-------------------------------------
I had also that issue on 64 bits Mandriva 2008.1 (and also previous
mandrivas). I solved it by removing the KDirWatch addDir calls. Of
course, directory changes are not seen now by digiKam, but at least,
the (great) application starts.
The problem seems to be a communication one between the fam/gamin lib
and server but I didn't get further.

I do a diff at home and send the 'patch' (not really a patch, as it
removes something).

-------------------------------------
I would not advocate messing with sources, just turn off fam/gam in system
settings (depends on your distro). In fact I remember that with KDE3 there were
problems with FAM and I disabled it completely by removing guilty package.
