OK, I guess you're building 2.2.0 from the tarball then?  I've stuck to
using MacPorts , more within my comfort zone for the Mac, and generally
takes care of all dependencies consistently, although releases lag behind a
bit.  Hopefully the package maintainer will pick up on Gilles' forthcoming
2.3.0 release ....

I did install the MacPorts version of Hugin, and I do have the
'align_image_stack' executable, which is located in /opt/local/bin like all
the other MacPorts binaries (and this is in my path).  Hugin itself seems to
run OK.

It's odd that MacPorts Digikam can't see MacPorts 'align_image_stack' though
(/opt/local/bin is in my path).  I also have the 'panoramagui'  KDE
application installed, and similarly that's giving errors about not being
able to find the Hugin component 'autooptimiser', so this is probably not a
Digikam issue.  I'm not sure if there's any overall KDE path that needs
tweaking for MacPorts so applications check /opt/local/bin.

Do you actually get any different functionality using Pano tools through
Digikam rather than Hugin then, or is it simply a different front-end?

Thanks
Phil
