Building F-spot from source

I downloaded F-spot's latest version for Ubuntu, after having to manually install several mono libraries that weren't installed with F-spot's instrucions, I ran into this problem when running it:

Starting new FSpot server

Luckily Google helped me find a solution for this bug. What you have to do is delete your old f-spot's db file (in my case it was empty).

jj@freya:: cd .gnome2/f-spot                                                                           [~]




jj@freya:: ls                                                                                     [f-spot]




photos.db




jj@freya:: ls -lh photos.db                                                                       [f-spot]

jj@freya:: rm photos.db                                                                           [f-spot]

Voila~, now I'm running into a new problem which I'm still working on :P

jj@freya:: f-spot                                                           [~]
