That's strange - it should be either yes or no for Exif/IPTC...

Additionally I need (available after ./autogen.sh on fresh sources):
config.log, config.h, config.status

The libraries we need are: libexiv2-0 and libexiv2-dev (forget Qt
staff ;o)

exiv2 is standalone tool - handy, but not used by gcmd. libexiv2-0.10
- ???

FC7 uses exiv2-0.14-1.fc7 & exiv2-devel-0.14-1.fc7. The first contains:

exiv2 libraries are detected in configure.in with the help of
pkg-config. You can check manually if exiv2 is detected properly by
running in console:
        
        pkg-config --print-errors --libs exiv2

If everything is OK, you should get:

        -lexiv2

OK

Please run ./autogen.sh, make, make install

Hope it'll help,
