Ah, success! I finally (after about 4 hours on an off) managed to build Shotwell from source. I'm not sure what the problem was last time that prompted this message in the first place but I will surmise it had something to do with libgphoto2 which I had first attempted to compile and then failed at it.
My best guess is that I didn't remove it completely or did so incorrectly which caused the mass of errors in the pastebin below. I'm still interested in attempting to compile libgphoto2 for the hell of it but must remember to do so on a virtual system first. Bengt, thank you again for your "lazy mans" guide. It proved invaluable in my attempts to trouble shoot. On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 11:02 AM, David Velazquez < [email protected]> wrote: > I did! I actually followed that guide most of the way through.
