You are right. KDE3 was never designed to have libs stored in any other place than ${PREFIX}/lib, and us such does not handle the configure option --libdir=. From what I can see it is only kdelibs that this actually worries (unless some evil port breaks things, but nothing within kde itself). As it happends, there is actually a very easy and simple hack to make it work: After configuring kdelib3, change KDELIBSUFF in config.h to: #define KDELIBSUFF "/kde3" I can send in a patch when my machine has finished its build cycle and I have been able to confirm this works with most of KDE.
