>> Hi!
>>
>> I followed directions in
>> http://www.digikam.org/download?q=download/binary/
>> to install digikam on MacOS (in my case, Lion 10.7.5), so
>> 1. I installed Macports (which implies installing Apple's Xcode
>> Developer Tools , a real pain
>> as you must even register as a code developer...) and few easier
>> things all well explained in http://www.macports.org/install.php)
>> 2. run sudo port install digikam
>> and left the computer working for hours (literally: keep it connected
>> to the power source).
>>
>> Unfortunately, after all that I could not find any digikam icon and,
>> worst,
>> could not find any direction in the digikam web page on what to do. I
>> searched
>> for digikam with spotlight, found the digikam app and clicked on it: a
>> little
>> icon booted for few seconds, then nothing.
>>
>> Then I searched the digikam archives in nabble for macports and could
>> find a long thread
>>
>> http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digikam-MacOS-X-MacPorts-and-KDE-and-carsh-on-stratup-tt3175448.html
>> in which Gerard Milhaud was finally providing the solution:
>>
>> ""
>> Then, I relaunch these commands :
>> launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
>> sudo chown -R g ~/Library/Preferences/KDE
>> ""
>> where "g" is his user name (so agustinlobo in my case)
>>
>> And yes, it works now and I love it.
>> Great job, hopefully will be using it a lot both on Mac and linux but....
>>
>> please: add this to the directions for installing digikam on MacOS
>> in http://www.digikam.org/download?q=download/binary/:
>>
>> "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
>> Applications folder in a folder
>> named Macports/KDE4 "
>>
>> Thanks a lot for digikam!
