Hello Everyone,

I didn't have much time lately but I wanted to try the new Ubuntu version and 
of course the new Shotwell version.

After upgrading to Natty I noticed that I wasn't able to start Shotwell 
anymore. I got this error:
shotwell: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.6: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
So I checked which version of libexiv2 is installed and it seems to be 
libexiv2.so.10. I already tried reinstalling both Shotwell and libexiv2 but 
this didn't help.

Compiling the new Shotwell version from trunk gave me this error message:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libexiv2.so.6, needed by /usr/local/lib/libgexiv2.so, not 
found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
This is pretty strange because Natty runs Shotwell without any problems on my 
NetBook and a 64Bit virtual machine.
The command "locate libexiv2" gave me these results:
/usr/lib/libexiv2.a>  /usr/lib/libexiv2.la>  /usr/lib/libexiv2.so>  /usr/lib/libexiv2.so.10>

Did anyone else have this problem or any idea how to solve it?

Looks to me like your installation of gexiv2 in /usr/local is trying to pull in an older version of exiv2 (libexiv2.so.6). On Natty, you should be able to use both libexiv2 and libgexiv2 from the Natty repository, so you shouldn't need those installed locally at all. So I'd uninstall gexiv2 from /usr/local - that should help.
