[Digikam-users] libexiv2 problem on kubuntu 8.10

[Gandalf Lechner]

Hi all,

I haven't had a look at the development of digikam for some time, but since 
there were a couple of messages saying bugs I reported earlier have been fixed 
now, I wanted to check how digikam is evolving today. However, I ran a into a 
problem. Probably this is due to my kubuntu update to 8.10 RC, a "kde4 only" 
distribution. Before the update everything worked fine.

Also now, after the update, I can do the digikam checkout procedure, 
compilation and installation with the same settings as before, since (as far 
as I know) the only path change with respect to earlier versions of kubuntu is 
that ~/.kde4 is now called ~/.kde. kde4 stuff is in /usr/lib/kde4 as before. 
But after having compiled and installed, running digikam gives me

digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.2: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory,

and digikam does not start.

The configure script had said before:
...
-- Found Exiv2 release >= 0.13                                                             
-- Found Exiv2: /usr/lib/kde4/lib/libexiv2.so 
...

locate libexiv2.so.2 returns nothing, but locate libexiv2.so gives

/usr/lib/libexiv2.so
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.4.0.0
/usr/lib/kde4/lib/libexiv2.so
/usr/lib/kde4/lib/libexiv2.so.4
/usr/lib/kde4/lib/libexiv2.so.4.0.1

I also searched with apt-file search libexiv2.so.2 which package contains the 
missing file, but this again returns nothing. So right now I don't know how to 
resolve the problem, and, as usual ;-), any help is appreciated ...

Best,
Gandalf
