Thank you, that did the trick. However, I had to change paths manually
in the rc-files, because when trying to open the setup dialog, digikam
crashed regularly. I haven't tried it yet after I changed the paths,
because it took a looong time to read all the info, but I'll check again.

Thanks, now I can see images at least.
