pass OK and then reports :

The configure script is usually able to detect the headers in the standard
places, so I think it is more likely you do not have them install.
Look for an package called kde-devel or kdelibs-devel or similar (the -devel
indicates it is a developer package, needed only when compiling stuff)
Cheers,

Many thanks - That sounds familiar. I failed to install the
kdelibs-devel (or similar) package because I was warned of some bad
dependencies. I will go back to that install and see what I can fix
there.<br>
