Description Michał Kosmulski 2008-01-03 23:25:03 UTC
Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

When running ./configure for digikam 0.9.3, I ran into an error message saying my libkexiv2 is too old, as at least 0.1.5 was required:

-- libkexiv2 library found........ NO

digiKam needs libkexiv2 library >= 0.1.5. You need to install libkexiv2 first
libkexiv2 website is at http://www.kipi-plugins.org

However, I did have 0.1.5 installed. This message appear near the very end of configure's output. After some time, I found out, that earlier in the tons of messages produced by configure, there was a notice that version 0.1.6 was required. After updating libkexiv2 to 0.1.6, the problem disappeared, however the original messag ecaused a lot of confusion as a different version was printed out than was really required (and the earlier message with the correct version was not easy to spot).

Michal,

Problem is already fixed in svn. Also, if you take a look in README file, depencies list must be fine...
