Ubuntu feisty (and maybe 6.10) has /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash which causes 
the scripts from the svn site to behave as follows:

    pull src from svn, configure, compile, NOT pause at the "read" command 
and NOT perform a 'make install'



If in the compile scripts I change the first line to:

   #!/bin/bash

then the "read" command will wait for input but ALWAYS install on keypress.

if you want a "yes/no" option, please try the following:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/sh  -xve

export DIGIKAMDEST=/home/username/digikam-svn/
export KDEDIRS=$DIGIKAMDEST:/usr ; export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; export 
LDPATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/lib:$LDPATH
export PATH=$DIGIKAMDEST/bin:$PATH


echo "Get, compile and install exiv2"
svn co svn://dev.robotbattle.com/exiv2/trunk exiv2-svn

cd exiv2-svn
make config
./configure --prefix=$DIGIKAMDEST
make -j 4

read -p "OK to make install?  Y or y " answer
if [ "$answer" = "y" ] || [ "$answer" = "Y" ]
   then
      make install
      exit
    fi
echo "Finished compiling exiv2"
cd ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This does not have a default behavior for a timeout so that if you leave 
your script running and go to sleep, it will wait until you answer the 
question.
