I understand, but I also have a script to run the svn version of digikam 
which, between other tasks, changes LD_LIBRARY_PATH to prioritise 
the /usr/local/digikam-trunk/lib which is where exiv2-svn is installed (as 
shown below)

this test was made without even changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable:

pjlv at archon /usr/local/digikam-trunk/bin $ 
ldd /usr/local/digikam-trunk/bin/digikam | grep -i exiv 
        libkexiv2.so.0 => /usr/local/digikam-trunk/lib/libkexiv2.so.0 
(0xb7419000)
        libexiv2-0.13.so => /usr/local/digikam-trunk/lib/libexiv2-0.13.so 
(0xb7334000)
pjlv at archon /usr/local/digikam-trunk/bin $                    

about the check you suggested:

pjlv at archon /usr/local/digikam-trunk/bin $ ls -l /usr/lib/libexiv2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  966512 Dec 11 14:18 /usr/lib/libexiv2-0.12.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1795684 Dec 11 14:18 /usr/lib/libexiv2.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     814 Dec 11 14:18 /usr/lib/libexiv2.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Feb 24 17:10 /usr/lib/libexiv2.so -> 
libexiv2-0.12.so
pjlv at archon /usr/local/digikam-trunk/bin $

Please note that I'm not excluding that you could be right, just that it 
doesn't appear so.

any other tests you could suggest?
