[Digikam-users] segmentationfault from libexiv2

[Caspar Maessen]

I compile digikam and libexiv2 from svn once or twice a week. 
digikam-0.9.5_svn-853520
digikam-libs-0.9.5_svn-853516
libexiv2-4-0.17.91-1567.svn

As you can see it is exiv2 version 0.17. This places de in /usr/lib
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so -> libexiv2.so.4.0.1
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4 -> libexiv2.so.4.0.1
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4.0.1

With this configuration digikam runs smoothly without a hitch.

I also need ibexiv2.so.0. Among others it is required by qtpfsgui.
So I install libexiv2-0.15-8.2 form the opensuse repos. It gives me
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.0 -> libexiv2.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.0.1.0

But now digikam crashes with a reference to libexiv2.so.0. This is what 
puzzles me because I compiled digikam against the other version.

This is what gdb gives me as I just point the mouse at an image: 

(gdb) run

After uninstalling libexiv2-0.15-8.2 everything works fine.

Is this a bug in digikam?
