You must mean 0.7.2, since Shotwell 0.8 hasn't been released yet.  :)

Note that exiv2 and gexiv2 are two different things.  It looks like 
you've installed exiv2, but not gexiv2.  The gexiv2 home page is here:

http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/gexiv2

You might be able to get gexiv2 from your distribution.  Otherwise, you 
can download the gexiv2 source and build and install it.  Once you have 
a successful installation of gexiv2, you should be able to build 
Shotwell without a problem.  If you have more trouble, let us know and 
we'll try to help.
