So how did this happen with my build?

$ ldd /opt/digikam2/bin/digikam | grep face 
    libkface.so.1 => /opt/digikam2/lib64/libkface.so.1 (0x00007f078e09f000)
$ ldd /opt/digikam2/lib64/libkface.so | grep face 

Here is the extract from my digikam cmake output:

--

Does the last line mean that it is automatically using the internal
version, or that I have to do something before it will use the
internal version?  If so, what?

Yep:

$ ls /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades 
haarcascade_eye_tree_eyeglasses.xml   haarcascade_mcs_eyepair_small.xml
haarcascade_eye.xml                   haarcascade_mcs_lefteye.xml

Sure - so which project is the problem with: libkface, libface, or
opencv?  I checked the bug databases for all three and I couldn't see
it reported in any of them, so I am wondering if anyone else is aware
of the problem.

Sure - distributions are downstream not upstream, anyway.  I agree
it's pointless submitting distro bugs for this OpenCV_DIR path issue,
because it is not distro-specific (I am on openSUSE 11.3, for
instance).  That's why I am checking that a bug really has been filed
upstream.

Thanks for your continued help!
