That's exactly the kind of version mixup of libexiv2. Some KDE libs load 
libexiv2.so.0, and digikam is compiled against libexiv2.so.2. It crashes when 
loading so.0. For some reason the libs are binary incompatible, but the 
linker does not notice. Why this is the case I leave to others to comment 
(that means, I dont know).
