building kde-4.4.2 with xorg75 not in /usr

[lux-integ]

Hello,

am new to this list.

I am trying to build kde4.4.2 on a 64bit (amd64 linux machine (gcc-4.4.2).  I 
have reached kdebase-workspace-4.4.2.  It compiles to 100%  if I have a 
symbolic link (which I do not want to have)  of libXi to /usr/lib  but 
consistently fails at 84%   if this link is not there. (Both kde and 
Xorg-7.5) are not prefixed in /usr.

Help would be appreciated.
