[Digikam-users] Re: Compiling Issues (my version of the wheel)

Thanks Nicolas. 

No, it's not too late for me since I'm still foundering out here.

If I follow your instructions, can I just reload digiKam from the PPA
via my Synaptic Update Manager (yup: I feel much more comfortable with a
gui)? and then cut'n'paste what you've provided? Seems like this would
be almost infinitely easier than what I've been trying to do. Plus, I
probably won't have to worry about instability of the latest and
greatest digikam svn, right?
