>From ports? Not from packages? If from ports - why? Talking about digikam and its dependencies, some of them are rather fragile regarding compile tweaks.

Could you get a backtrace, please? Also, did it immediately crashed after setting things up, or after some time (but still without involving you), or right after you did something? I have a suspect here, saw it on i386 only but failed to debug - something really fishy happens there when reading thumbnails via lbiraw... But, again, I can't speak anything for sure without a trace. If you need help in getting trace, please, mail me off-list. > So I installed the digicam-doc port.

FWIW, there is an analog in GNOME land, Shotwell - maybe it'll work for you... -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
