[kde-linux] change "kde-config --install <type>" pointers?

[Joe Friedrichsen]

A follow up of a different flavor to my input method engine question... 
I chose scim because skim (http://www.scim-im.org/projects/skim - a KDE 
front-end of sorts) is available and very nice. However, I've noticed 
that the install gets confused on my system: some header files are 
installed into /NONE/skim/utils.

skim uses the build system bksys 
(http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/bksys.html) to configure and install the 
package. I can fully compile and install without any performance issues. 
skim works well. Correspondence on the scim list pointed out that my kde 
is confused itself. The skim configuration script uses "kde-config 
--install <type>" to find installation directories. However, mine 
reports "NONE" for "kde-config --install include". That single pointer 
is the only one unset on my system.

The documentation for kde-config 
(http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/kde-config.html) suggests 
that these values are set at compile time: "--install gives the paths 
kdelibs was compiled for". Is it possible for me to change/update that 
pointer without having to recompile (I'm using debian testing, so while 
a compile is possible, I'd prefer to apt-get things).

Please offer any suggestions that you have. Thanks!
Joe
