You are missing libSM.so
Install a package from your distro that has this library.  For me, that's libSM-devel
on Fedora 9.

The kdelibs CMakeLists.txt checks for this library and exits with a fatal error
if it cannot be found.  So, seems like you are building against a distro kdelibs.
Which is fine, but makes me think we need to move the libSM check higher up
in the buildsystem.
