konstruct can't find KDE plugins...

[Allen Wayne Best]

hello:

i am attempting to build kde 3.2.2 using konstruct-stable.  unfortunately, it 
is getting to kdebase and failing as shown below. i have searched in the 
configure to see what it is doing that is failing. i found that it creates a 
file actest.ui and then runs the command:

uic -L /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/  -impl actest.h actest.ui > actest.cpp

then i test (as does configure) for the existence of actest.cpp (yes) and does 
it contain the word klineedit (no). i also note this comment in configure at 
the point of the above test:

       # if you're trying to debug this check and think it's incorrect,
	# better check your installation. The check _is_ correct - your
	# installation is not.

now, my question. how do i go about checking the installation. i have deleted 
and reran the konstruct tree three times, all with the same error! i have 
made two changes to qar.confi.mk

#GARCHIVEDIR = $(HOME)/kde3.2.2-sources
GARCHIVEDIR = /usr

#prefix ?= $(HOME)/kde3.2.2
prefix = /usr

all assistance and/or pointers is greatly appreciated.
