Just two thoughts which most likely are way off:
- did you run kdeinit after installing the FAM?
  (not that I know that this would be necessary, in particular
   because it works with konqueror ...)
- this is even more absurd: does it make a difference
  to configure/compile of digikam whether FAM is installed or not?
  (If so, a fresh re-install might help.)

Hmm, so nothing profound here,
