[Digikam-users] Re: difference between 64 and 32 bit kubuntu for digikam

[Errol Sapir]

Philip you hit the nail on the head. I removed the four files you listed 
while still having digikam 1.9 on my computer at home. I then installed 
Digikam2 and everything is now working great.
Thanks for your aid!!
