kdepimlibs build assumes that you have done "make install" in kdelibs and that 
prefix/bin is in your path.

prefix in this case is the directory you passed to 
cmake's -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX parameter

For example if you did this when building the earlier modules (always use the 
same prefix for all modules)

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/kde-devel/install

you should the do something like this

export PATH=/home/kde-devel/install/bin:$PATH

I attach the shell enviroment helper I am using
Before doing KDE trunk (development branch) related things I always source 
this in the current shell

% source kdetrunkenv

As you can see the two paths at the beginning need to be set correctly, 
everyhting else is relative to them

Cheers,
Kevin
