I think we need more info on what you have done to help you .
however  You are supposed to compile and install the ARTS subsystem before
building KDElibs.

Also all the requierd and recommended subsystems on the KDE 3.1
requierments page

http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.1.php

exept the things you obviously dont need to build on solaris 9
like Java, JSSE, XDPMS.  And the stuff that is for linux ONLY
like ALSA  and FAM .
