[Digikam-users] Digikam 3.5 is crashing

[Jim Dory]

Peter, thanks for informative reply.

1) I don't use eix - I'll give it a try.
2) I always use emerge -avuND @world when updating.
3) I have the elogs emailed me automatically so I can read each one.
4) yes, but only when it asks
5) depclean not as often as I should, but occasionally
6) first go-to when I have a problem, usually doesn't have anything to fix
these days.
7) when my root partition starts filling up I do this.
8) when it asks, not as matter of course.

I will say I may have fixed problem but haven't had time to play around
much to be sure. Possibly things are still broken, but I am finally able to
get some accurate thumbnails. I will see what happens when I tag some -
that was throwing the thumbnails off previously.

What I did was try to build an ebuild with digikam-4.0.0.beta1 but it would
fail during the compile. So I went ahead and as my user (not root)
installed it via "make && make install [as root]" in my home/Opt directory.
However, I forgot about specifying an install directory so it installed
globally. Oops.

I had the exact same problem with the beta version so uninstalled it using
the make uninstall command. That removed a lot of KDE libraries, which I
reinstalled using my sets (i.e.: emerge -av @kdegraphics) and a few others.
So I'm back on dk 3.5, and it seems to be behaving better now.

Not sure why I was having trouble with the dk beta1 ebuild, but that would
be another thread I guess and maybe something for the gentoo forums.
