I compiled libgphoto2 but wasn't smart enough to get gthumb compiled with photo-import enabled because it didn't recognise libgphoto2 I had compiled from svn and installed with checkinstall.
I reinstalled libgphoto2 and gthumb from the official repos and found that in digikam and gtkam the photo-import worked right away. So I'll be using these programs for the import of photos.
I don't understand anything about libgphoto2. So I might be on the wrong track here. But when I plug the camera in and the command "gnome-volume-manager-gthumb %h" gets executed gthumb looks in the directory /usr/lib/libgphoto2/2.2.1 for a camera driver. In the directory I can see two drivers for my Ricoh camera:
ricoh.so
ricoh_g3.so
When I run the program "/usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-camera-list human-readable" it says that the driver for the "Caplio G4" is "ricoh_g3.so" listed. Strange that gthumb doesn't find it or can't use it.
