OK, after removing that error from automake and that big warning from 
autoheader, two more problems to report:

1) libxml in kdesupport generates an empty config.h, so nothing compiles:

/* config.h.  Generated by configure.  */
/* config.h.in.  Generated automatically from configure.in by autoheader.  
*/

So, after installing KDE 3.0 kdesupport:

2) The arts configure check for audiofile doesn't work anymore.  It runs

configure:27219: gcc -o conftest -ansi -W -Wall -pedantic -Wshadow 
- -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 
- -D_BSD_SOURCE -g3    -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT  -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/kde3/include 
- -I/opt/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include  -I${top_srcdir}/libltdl 
- -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/opt/qt3/lib -L${exec_prefix}/lib   -L/usr/X11R6/lib 
- -L/opt/qt3/lib -L${exec_prefix}/lib  conftest.c -laudiofile   >&5

and can't find the lib, because libaudiofile is in /opt/kde3, which isn't 
getting substituted for ${exec_prefix}.

Hope this helps,
