Digikam & USB permissions

[Ron Keller]

*First, a bit of history.  I used Gentoo (kernel-2.6.8.1 with udev) as 
the host system for building LFS-6.0. One of the packages I emerged on 
the Gentoo system was digikam-0.7.1; and using the information ion the 
following link, I was able to gety digikam to recognize and access my 
USB PTP Class camera as a normal user.

So, I thought I would try to build digikam-0.7.1 on my LFS system using 
KDE-3.3.2 as the active window manager.  I had no problem building the 
package, but I cannot get digikam to access the camera or even to 
recognize that a camera is conneted to the computer.  I know that the 
kernel is aware that a USB device has been plugged in. I have tried to 
use the same information in the previous link to apply it to the LFS 
system. I doesn't work.

I am really hoping that someone on this list has managed to get this to 
work.  I woould really appreciate some help.  I suspect that it may be a 
permissions thing, but since this as a PTP camera, no device is being 
genated by the hotplug handler, and thus, I have no device ffile in /dev 
for which I can set permissions.  Help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Ron
