Hi,

First of all, sorry for the frenglish and a certain amount of typing  
faults (oops). most of the time, I try to staying understandable, but, may  
be, even in french, I've had a tendency to don't give only the essentials  
and being confuse consequently (like now :-b).

In second, happy you solved your matter, but I'm not sure to understand  
the final trouble.

"With this deb you can install Libexiv2-9 and libexiv2-dev"

Effectively, I didn't precise you can >and need to< install them before  
the next steps... ;-) But there's no need to be in the src directory  
before installing this deb files.

At least, things are fixed ! And may be it could be helpful for other  
users.
