digikam 5.1.0 start-up hanging on OSX

[Pingu-Mann-Zɔro]

OK, I looked at the webpage. I have become no further info from these
directions. See the procedure I followed below.

Procedure:
____________________________
The executable has changed from:

lldb /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam
to:
lldb /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet

When I run it, I get two lines and a hangup it seems -- 
after a while I had to type "exit" to stop: 
__________________________________________
 
lldb /opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet

(lldb) target create "/opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet"
Current executable set to '/opt/digikam/Applications/digiKam/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/applet'  

(lldb) exit 
__________________________________________
