Tutorial project build problem

I've been trying to follow the tutorial that came with KDeveloper, but everytime
I go through the wizard setup it stops with the message below and I can't seem
to resolve this problem with the configure script.  It does state that I don't
have the extra includes and extra libs for KDE, and I'm not sure where or what I
need to get or if I need them.  I'm running RedHat 6.0 I have all the developer
packages as far as I know using the available RPMs KDE 1.1.1, QT 1.44 release
6.  I have looked around for people having similar problems and can't seem to
find anything, I was thinking that it was a RedHat problem with the mix up with
where KDE was installed,  which I did fix with making a symlink through /opt/kde
--> /usr I would be gratefull if anyone has come across this problem and knows
what is causing the problem.  I also get a core dump after the configure script
terminates with the message........

configure: error: configure could not run a little KDE program to test the
environment.
Since it had compiled and linked before, it must be a strange problem on your
system.
Look at config.log for details. If you are not able to fix this, please contact
Stephan Kulow <coolo at kde.org>.

Thanks to anyone who got this far down, I'm sure it could be a shortage of some
libraries but I'm at a loss as to what they are.......  please let me know if
you need any more info I really would like to learn how to code QT and KDE and I
guess I have a lot to learn about the configure script :-)

Thanks
