[Digikam-users] Installing Digikam on Mac OS X 10.6.8

[Sergio Minero II]

Hello.  I am on my second attempt at installing Digikam on Snow Leopard.  I have limited experience with Ubuntu and no experience with MacPorts, sudo, packages, dbus, and all the other joys of Linux.  I don't even know how to run Digikam from the Terminal.  I've read the instructions for installation on the Digikam site and read through the Digikam support posts and the MacPorts support posts when I got error messages about libraries that didn't install and lists that wouldn't load.  I've done a lot of copying and pasting and blind experimentation.  Though I enjoy learning and would like to understand Unix/Linux/MacPorts better I don't want to spend weeks doing that just to install and run Digikam.

At this point I've gotten as far as being able to click on the Digikam icon at Applications/MacPorts/KDE4.  The icon shows up on the Dock, bounces, and stops.  What do I do next?  How do I determine what I'm missing to complete a successful installation?
