Here's some possibilities:
1) First of all, QT 2.0 won't work at all. That's going to work with KDE 2.0.
The libraries and stuff are a major change from the 1.x series.
2) The RPMS are really nice. I appreciate your effort to learn how to compile
these and all, but if you just want the stuff to work, you may consider just
installing the RPMs. 'rpm -Uvh kde*.rpm' is much easier. :)
3) A great way to see how people got really difficult stuff to compile is to view
the src rpms. Just download the .src.rpm for that distribution, and rpm -Uvh it.
You will see a new spec file show up in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS. In it is a basic
script file for extracting the tarball, patch whatever is needed, and running what
is needed to get the tarball to install. that's a great learning tool.
4) What I really think your problem is, is related to environment variables that
KDE needs at runtime. Some environment variables have to be set, in order for the
stuff to work.
Some of those that come to mind (I don't have it installed on my system, I prefer
Gnome, now that it's stable) Those variables that I can remember are: $KDEHOME
$KDEDIR.
There's full instructions
5) You may not even have a compiler installed. (I don't know if you have compiled
anything on your system or not). check to see if 'gcc' is in your path.
[pietb@slacker pietb]$ which gcc
should return
/usr/bin/gcc
Now that I think of it, I think KDE needs c++, so you should type 'which c++'
instead.
6) In-depth troubleshooting: Go and find the part of the make script that is doing
the dying. Find the exact text, and see i fyou can replicate that command from
the command line. I often find this trick to be quite helpful, as you can really
see for yourself what is failing, instead of what the install program tells you
what is failing.
