After reading a private reply from Ryan Schmidt, and what Salvatore Brigaglia wrote as a reply to our comments on his blog entry, I experimented some more and... my digiKam is now working! :-)
Reading about the importance of dbus, and about problems with the port version I had on my hard drive[1], I upgraded from dbus @1.2.12_2 to dbus @1.2.12_4. I don't know what else exactly out of several things I tried caused digiKam to work. Probably the most important measure was to delete the old configuration file "~/Library/Preferences/KDE/share/config/digikamr" and the previously generated "digikam4.db". A reboot might also be necessary (for dbus). Now there are still strange messages when I start digikam from the terminal, and I can't quit it via the menu when started this way, but it works just fine. The best way to start it seems to be via the icon in /Applications/MacPorts: that way it's also possible to quit the program normally. Thomas: what dbus port do you have installed? Can you try my Portfile, now that it works for me? I'm reattaching my Portfile (this time with a proper MIME type, and with one dependency less), and I hope it can soon be used as a starting point for a Portfile in the official system. Notice I disabled gphoto support because currently the version in MacPorts is too old, and I don't need it anyway. Unfortunately I had no success compiling the kipi-plugins (which could extend digiKam's capabilities). One minor issue I notice is the lack of program-specific icons in my /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4 folder. What could I do to change that? Regards, Vlado Plaga [1] http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17950
