Well it did & I now I have the desktop. Here is the weird thing. Before Make
 & Make install of kdebase I could start kde applications (Konqueror, Kmail,
 Konsol etc). I am wondering if the build of kde3 did build kdebase but did
 NOT install kdebase. Is that a reasonable explanation?

I was able to start kde through command line using  /usr/local/bin/kdeinit
although startkde was not present in /usr/local/bin. Looking at the
dependencies I am wondering how that could happen without kdebase3.4.0 having
been built.

Now I have kde in all its glory!!

Thank you and everyone else who has helped me through this.. you guys are
great.

make kdegreat  & make install goodfun
