I am not sure if we have all bits of information needed
to help you ;-). So let's see:


1) Did you compile digikam yourself (from the tarball, or svn?)
   a) If so, to which place?
   b) Have you tried to you run kdeinit after setting
      the environment variables correctly, after installation?

   (For installation from svn have a look at
    http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn
   For tarball installations:
2) If you used packages from your distribution:
   a) which distribution
   b) which packages?

   For information on pre-built packages see:

Best, Arnd
