Following original instructions helped for Kubuntu 9.0.4 with DigiKam Beta 3.

sudo aptitude install cdbs pkg-kde-tools
cmake libqt4-dev kdelibs5-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libkipi6-dev libkexiv2-7-dev libkdcraw7-dev liblcms1-dev libtiff4-dev libjasper-dev kdepimlibs5-dev liblensfun-dev libmarble-dev libsqlite3-dev libltdl3-dev

cd digikam-0.10.0

the workaround with deleting and readding the directory did not work for me – still no photos visible.

Both solutions didn’t work for me… Any ideas? I have KDE 4.3 beta 2, compiling worked, but I couldn’t install debugging symbols package…. I could install compiled digikam but it didn’t work – still albums with no photos. Readding gallery didn’t work. Updating from experimentall didn’t work – if anyone has any suggestions – very welcome.

For those still having this issue:
digikam build against the right libs is now part of the kde-experimental ppa, so compilation isn’t neede anymore.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main

@Chris: It appears that I cannot compile digikam as described. Here are the lines showing the error I get:

– Found Threads: TRUE
– Found Automoc4: /usr/bin/automoc4
– Found Perl: /usr/bin/perl
– Phonon includes NOT found!
CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindPhonon.cmake:63 (message):

I have libphonon-dev and libqt4-phonon-dev installed. Any ideas?

@Wong CS: Quite right. I am doing the same (rebuilding) as I write this

@Kanwar: didn’t work for me. Had to rebuild digikam as per Chris’ instructions.

@Chris: that’s the second time you’ve saved me from not being able to use Digikam due to my own indiscriminate use of PPA repos. I hereby make a solemn promise to treat you to 2 nights of alcohol if I ever have the honor of meeting you

There is another method though that means allowing digikam to rebuild the collection. Start digikam and go to Tools->Configure Digikam. Remove the “Local Collection” and add it again. It takes time to rebuild but it works thereafter.
