looks like there is at least one library for which the version used when 
compiling Digikam is different from the one used when running it.
You could try to do 'ldd /usr/bin/digikam' (in a terminal window, with paths 
changed where needed); that would probably show you the problematic libraries.

That said, as you upgraded KDE after installing a digikam version with 
problems is not going to make solving it easier.
If you compiled digikam yourself, I'd strongly suggest recompiling it against 
the 4.7.2 libraries, then try and run the executable and use the ldd command 
to see the problem libraries (you'll get a list of all used libraries, usually 
it's one or two that cause problems...)

Good luck hunting
