Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2009-04-18 18:23:02 UTC

Sound like a similar report done recently in this room about Exiv2 0.18.0.

I recommend to update Exiv2 library to last stable 0.18.1.

libkexiv2, digiKam and kipi-plugins must be recompiled.

Look in digiKam Help/Components Info menu to see which Exiv2 library you use.

Comment 2 Holger von Radziewski 2009-04-18 19:58:56 UTC

Hi,

I don't know how I can do that. With the kipi-plugins and digikam, I read from the INSTALL file that build instructions can be found at
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4

However, I don't get along with this site: I just cannot find there how you can just configure, compile, and install a package. Do you know a place where this is described in a better way.

Back to the topic: You are right, I am indeed using version 0.18 of exiv2, according to the digikam menu.

Best,
Holger
