ok, it works.
installed unsermake again, compiled after svn up with first typing 
	export UNSERMAKE=no
and it passed without any problems :-)

So, like this it works with different exivs & unsermake. Just for a test I 
opened 0.8.2 as standard-user, my "old" svn-digikam from June (as user test), 
plus the latest svn as user digi and had all three versions running 
simoultaneously...

Shouldn't this unsermake stuff be included in the "nomal" install procedure 
("Install digiKam in your system (/usr)") too? Or does this only apply to the 
special "home directory install"?
