Thanks yet again for your help, patience, and software.

I now have a working digiKam 0.10.0-beta6 on WinXP !

There were a few more glitches along the way:  make couldn't find my perl.
I don't remember if the KDE installer installs perl.  If so, it might have
not played nice with my existing perl.  Or perhaps my existing perl was just
too old.  In any even, I uninstalled/reinstalled perl, and the problem went
away.

Then part way through the compile,  Windows went batty.  Lots of system
errors and compiler errors. Memory leak?  Reboot, continue.   No further
problems.

digikam seems to be working fine, although it is a bit sluggish.  I have to
wait a couple of seconds after clicking anything.

Regards and thanks again,
gary
