[Digikam-users] problems: viewing and saving

[Ken Dere]

I am using digikam 0.8.1which I compiled under Suse 10.0.  I think the rpms 
from PackMan had similar problems.

Digikam works fine at downloading my pictures from my camera and creating 
albums.  However, when I click on a thumbnail, I just get a black image.  In 
the lower corner of the window, it says the file size is 0x0 pixels.  Running 
it from the cli, I get the following message:

> digikam
digikam: ScanLib: Finding non-existing Albums: 16 ms
digikam: ScanLib: Finding items not in the database or disk: 343 ms

digikam: WARNING: /home/ken/photos/australia.2005/100_0221.JPG : Failed to 
load image using imlib2: error number: 4

Previously, my problem was that I could not save edited images.  I had this 
problem with the rpms distributed by Suse and those from Packman and when I 
compiled it myself.  All my permissions seem to be OK.  Somewhere on this 
list I saw a similar complaint and it was suggested that imlib2 was not 
present when compiled but my compile finds it.  However, I can't even get to 
this step now.  
TIA
