[Digikam-users] Digikam 0.9.3 can't build thumbnails

[Gilles Caulier]

Paul, your KDE3 variable settings is not fine. I have discovered the
same problem with KDE4...

This is my post from digikam-devel mailing list about a same problem
to run digiKam for KDE4, where kio-slave are not started properlly:

Arnd,

For KDE4 with Mandriva 2008.1, there is a script named "k4" which
initialize all env. bash variable to be able to run a KDE4 application
under KDE3. Look the new env created :

[gilles at localhost ~]$ export > k1.txt
[gilles at localhost ~]$ k4
[gilles at localhost ~]$ export > k2.txt
[gilles at localhost ~]$ diff k1.txt k2.txt

Something similar must be done to run properly a KDE3 application
under Gnome for ex.
