Description Adam Jimerson 2007-04-20 02:14:45 UTC

Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          I586-suse-Linux 
OS:                Linux

When selecting if from Kmenu, digikam looks like it is going to load, it even shows up in the taskbar, but after a while it just stops loading.  When calling it from the konsole, I get this error 

"digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

What the problem is that I installed the version of libexiv2 that Digikam 0.9.1 requires, or so it says it requires.

Adam, 

Install Exiv2 shared library and all will be fine...

Looks like you have installed Exiv2 0.13 but your digiKam version wants Exiv2 0.14. There is a important difference between these two versions, as starting with 0.14 exiv2 uses libtool's -version-info library versioning system.

Old lib:
/usr/lib/libexiv2-0.13.so
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so -> libexiv2-0.13.so

New lib:
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so -> libexiv2.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.0 -> libexiv2.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libexiv2.so.0.0.0

Bye

  Thorsten
