Simon, I managed to get the same issue sorted on a 60D by building libraw 0.12.1 and Shotwell from source so it should also work for the 550D. The procedure is a bit convoluted due to ticket 3032 [0] so once that ticket is solved (either directly in libraw or using a workaround in the Shotwell build), it should all work fine. Here's the full procedure for Ubuntu if you want to give it a go:
1. Install subversion and the Vala compiler: sudo apt-get install subversion valac 2. Go to the page that explains how to install Shotwell from source [1] 3. Do step 1 of the instructions 4. Install the liblcms1-dev package: sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev 5. Download LibRaw-0.12.1.tar.gz [2] 6. Extract libraw: tar zxvf LibRaw-0.12.1.tar.gz 7. Build and install libraw: cd LibRaw-0.12.1 ./configure make sudo make install cd .. 8. Get Shotwell trunk (step 2 of [1]): svn co svn://svn.yorba.org/shotwell/trunk shotwell 9. Get the patch for bug #3032 [3] 10. Apply the patch: cd shotwell patch -p1 < ../shotwell-openmp.patch 11. Build and install Shotwell (step 3 of [1]): ./configure make sudo make install [0] http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3032 [1] http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source [2] http://www.libraw.org/data/LibRaw-0.12.1.tar.gz [3] http://trac.yorba.org/raw-attachment/ticket/3032/shotwell-openmp.patch Happy new year!
