[Digikam-users] digikam 0.8 rpm

[nanohuy at tele2.fr]

Hello

First, congratulations to developpers (and others) who 
contribute to this great soft. I  used "similar" soft on 
windows before trying linux. I'm now addicted to this OS 
but still a newbie.

1- Actually I have installed digikam 0.7.3, 
digikamimageplugin 0.7.3 and libdigikam 0.7.3 from rpm. 
Everything is OK except the raw image conversion. I own a 
nikon D70 wich produces NEF files. With digikam I can't 
preview the files nor convert them. I have a message wich 
indicates a preview or process failure. I have installed 
DCRAW and the problem is the same despites it works right 
with the gimp plugin (better to my opinion with UFRAW). Is 
there an incompatibility between my digital camera and 
this option in Digikam ?

2- Recently I wanted to upgrage to Digikam 0.8. I found 
rpm digikamimageplugins 0.8.0-beta2, digikam 0.8.0-beta2, 
libdigikam 0.8.0-beta2 from rpm.pbone.net but it doesn't 
work. When I launch the soft, Digikam crashes immediately 
and I have no message in console mode. So where can I find 
a complete RPM version of digikam 0.8 ? I use MANDRIVA LE 
2005 with KDE 3.3. (I tried to compile the file downloaded 
from digikam.org but I messed something)

Thanks  for your answers
