You just changed the unversioned symlink which is used when compiling (to
link against libexiv2.so.4 without having to know that it is the .so.4
version) into a symlink from libexiv2.so.0 to libexiv2.so.4. This is
completely broken because the version number has changed for a reason!

No it's not. libexiv2.so.4 is. Symlinking libexiv2.so.0 to it might appear
to make it work, but it is very likely to cause subtle bugs. The soname was
bumped for a reason.

The proper fix is to use the rawstudio-1.1.1-1.fc10 package in the Fedora 10
Everything repository, which is actually built to work in Fedora 10.
