[Digikam-users] How to build Digikam?

[Geoff King]

Hi Gandalf, and others trying to use kubuntu/ubuntu to install 0.10beta.

I am in the same position - no thumbnails or images.  The bug report I
filed a few days ago sounds like the same thing.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885

Did the rescan or restart help?

I've now compiled twice using the method outlined by Arnd (thanks
Arnd) and also using the libs directly from kubuntu (4.1beta2) and
both give the same result.  Maybe it's something wrong with
kubuntu/ubuntu, but most of the other kde4 programs and desktop work
fine (for a beta).
