I think I did, I ran make install from the build directory under 
graphics and it does contain the kipi-plugins directory and it seems to 
have compiled it as well.

this is what I have in /usr/lib:

These don't appear to be the most recent (I saw updates come by when 
running svn update today), but they're not anywhere else on my system. I 
probably just don't understand how to build digikam and the plugins 
properly :-(

Strangely, I couldn't find anything about kipi plugins on 
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Digikam+Compilation+on+Kubuntu+Intrepid

How does digikam find the plugins? During compiling, or at runtime? I 
did run ldconfig (but I should hope that the sudo make install process 
also does this?).

Anyway, I thought I had installed kipi-plugins, so how do I make sure I 
actually did successfully install them?

Cheers
