Did you install your compiled kdebase into the same directory
as your existing KDE installation, i.e. did it overwrite your
kdebase package files? If not, you need to use a parameter
to ./configure of --prefix=/opt/kde (or whatever your KDE
installation directory is). If you did install it in the correct
place, perhaps it's a coding error?
