[Digikam-users] Problems with compiled Digikam: can't create io-slaves

Hi,
I'm another Debian Testing user which has managed to have Digikam back in
his system.
I decided to compile Digikam 4.13 from source using the official tarball. I
ended up with Digikam (apparently) successfully compiled and I made a .deb
package using checkinstall instead of the make install statement.

But here's the problem: Digikam loads fine and seems to work but no image
thumbnail is shown... every time I choose an album I get the following
message in the console:
digikam(7594): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher
said: Unknown protocol 'digikamalbums'." 
digikam(7594)/digikam (core) Digikam::ImageAlbumModel::slotResult: Failed to
list url:  "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher
said: Unknown protocol 'digikamalbums'."

When I select a tag I get a similar message related to digikamtags:
digikam(7594): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher
said: Unknown protocol 'digikamtags'." 
digikam(7594)/digikam (core) Digikam::ImageAlbumModel::slotResult: Failed to
list url:  "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher
said: Unknown protocol 'digikamtags'." 

So my question is: what's wrong with my compiled version of Digikam? And how
can I fix this problems?

On my system runs a Debian Testing (stretch) on amd64 architecture, LXDE as
desktop manager. Repositories from unstable (sid) and experimental are enabled. 

The Debian binary package from unstable won't install (and that's known)
neither compiles using apt-get build-dep / apt-get source (got problems with
Marbles).

Thanks in advance

Bye
   Jenner
