Version:           0.9.0-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.1 
OS:                Linux

KDE forces -fno-exception but digikam fails to compile when that option is set. This is what I have been told in gentoo's Bugzilla. One of gentoo's package maintainers for KDE (Ioannis Aslanidis aka deathwing00) says this could be an upstream bug, so I'm reporting it here. For details, please see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145889

The error messages during the compile are as follows:
