Ok, I understand.  I didn't get digikam to even run...  That's what I meant by:

I downloaded the digikam that says it's for suse (digikam-0.5.1-1.suse.i386.rpm) and:

gandalf:/home/aiu1411 # rpm -ivh Documents/digikam-0.5.1-1.suse.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libexif.so.0 is needed by digikam-0.5.1-1
gandalf:/home/aiu1411 #

I tried linking to the installed libexif.so.5.1.1 without luck:

aiu1411 at gandalf:~> digikam
digikam: relocation error: digikam: undefined symbol: __ti7QWidget
aiu1411 at gandalf:~>


So I checked out KDE's way before getting too entrenched in digikam.
Sorry to mislead you.
