[Digikam-users] digiKam 4.0.0 hanging after checking "ICC repository" in OSX 10.10

[wtm]

Gilles,

Thanks for your reply!  Your response suggests that I could avoid some of
the problems I experienced installing on OSX if I followed your tutotrial,
installed the relevant packages from macports and then built the latest
version of digiKam from source rather than just installing digiKam from
macports as I've done. I'll give that a try.
