kdebase compilation problem

[Kuas]

Hi All:

I haven't sent introduction email yet since it is pretty hectic for me 
at the moment. I want to wait until I got more time. Then I'll see what 
I can do. I used Linux for quite a while, switching back and forth 
between desktop manager, didn't use KDE for quite a while though.  I 
tried it again after the announcement for this group. It turns out 
really different than the last one I used which was really old. I am 
interested in helping out kde-quality on whatever I can do to help. I am 
a programmer, I used to program in Java and some C. I guess C++ falls in 
between, did it a bit too. Never done any QT though.

In the mean time, while getting my things settle down. I'm trying to get 
familiar with KDE sourcecodes and dev environment. Following the 
instruction on the website, I downloaded the sourcecode using "cvsup" 
and tried to build KDE from KDE_3_2_BRANCH. Which I believed supposed to 
build right from cvs repository. arts and kdelibs were built okay. But I 
have this compilation problem with kdebase, as follow:

the error goes a long way.

I think the  problem is related with the dtd. I don't have kdex.dtd 
neither index.cache.bz2. Does anyone of you have any clue that might be 
able to fix the problem.

It's been a long time I want to get involve with opensource project. 
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Kuas.
