[Digikam-users] Error during compile of .8 beta2

[Andy Choens]

OK.  I'm running a copy of 64bit SUSE 10.

I would REALLY like to use the latest and greatest Digikam.  I've
gotten my dependencies compiled and installed.  A couple of bumps, but
nothing insurmountable.  But, now I've found an error I don't know how
to get around.

For the record I ran compile with the following options.
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3
--with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64 --enable-libsuffix=64

Configure escapes cleanly and recommends I run make.  And, that's when
my trouble starts.  I've tried to do what I know how to do, and I
can't make this work.  If someone could hold my hand a little and
guide me through this, I'd be most appreciative.  I'd like to get
better at compiling my own programs.

Thanks ahead for all of your tips and suggestions.
