[Digikam-users] Can't Build Digikam from Source

[Jordan H.]

When I do run the ./bootstrap.ubuntu, I get the following error:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/user/Downloads/graphics" does not  
exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

I've extracted the digikam source into /home/user/Downloads/Apps/ (so,  
bootstrap.ubuntu is in  
/home/user/Downloads/Apps/digikam-2.9.0/bootstrap.ubuntu).

I looked in bootstrap.ubuntu and it seems  that `kde4-config --prefix`  
results in "/usr" on my system (I'm using Linux Mint 13).
Any ideas?  Thanks.
