Yes, that was everything.

On the http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download/svn page the commands
were preceded with "#" instead of "$" so I assumed that mean root.

Yes, I fell asleep as well...
Now, trying with different cmake possibilities as user, this is what
I'm getting. It seems that a line is missing from cmake, but the error
is explicit in that it requires a dev to fix:
