digikam does not find kipi plugins

[_guybrush_]

The kipi plugin package that come with Jaunty has some problems with the gallery export (I can't get the comment set as the title), so I downloaded the last version 0.50 and compiled it from source. The make install places the plugins in /usr/local/lib/kde4/
But apparently Digikam from the package manager is looking for these files elewhere, because I get a 0 kipi plugins found in the configuration menu of digikam.

Does it mean that the packaged version uses other paths and if I use the plugins compiled from source, then I should also use digikam compiled from source?

What is my easiest option to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance

Re: digikam does not find kipi plugins

I know installing in /*/local is better for local installs, but in this case it may be simpler to read a bit the source package docs and see how to run the configure script specifying the installation prefix as /usr (as opposed to /usr/local), most likely that will do. Make sure you uninstall the kipi plugins from the repo first!

Thanks for the reply!

I will try to find where the paths are defined and make the necessary modifications.
