> things all well explained in http://www.macports.org/install.php)
> 2. run sudo port install digikam

> Then I searched the digikam archives in nabble for macports and could

> "Run
> launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
> sudo chown -R yourusername ~/Library/Preferences/KDE
>
> where yourusername must be substituted by your user name on the Mac
> You will find the digikam app ready to be launched within your

> Thanks a lot for digikam!
