Hi Ananta

Thank you a lot for the "trick" : it works fine. I added "#" at the  
beginning of the line wich contains "127.0.0.1 localhost" and now, digiKam  
starts. As i deleted digiKam from my computer, I downloaded the late  
version (3.1) and all's right.

Now, I am be able to try digiKam (ouf !)

Thank you again.

Lionel
