kde4 - digikam 1.8.0 all fail to start - hang in tray

[adasal]

Mac OS X 10.6.7
digikam @1.8.0 (kde, kde4)

sudo port install kde*4
 Activating kdegames4 @4.5.5_0
...
Activating kdemultimedia4 @4.6.3_0

I can't find any clue as to why this is.
I have uninstalled kde3.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled digikam and kde4.

dbus seems alive:-
 ps auxwww | grep dbus
messagebus    59   0.0  0.0  2435448    704   ??  Ss    3:44PM   0:00.01
/opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
adamsaltiel 55820   0.0  0.0  2426924    328 s002  R+    2:11PM   0:00.00
grep dbus

Result:- Application fails to respond.
I always have the same result.
To get some output I can try like this:-
 /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam
Result:-
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid
main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to
call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You
should not do that since it most likely will not work

I am sure the problem is something like a wrong path to python version (I
have 2.5 and 2.6 with the py26 0_6_16_0 port active).

If I try sudo port install kde-l10n-en_GB
I get this error:- './configure: No such file or directory' [1]

However no such error with e.g. sudo port install kde-l10n-el

Is this relevant?

Any help appreciated.


Best,

Adam
