I'm not sure if this was my problem, I have included the runtime response I get
from configure if this would be of any help,  it seems to find my X11 libraries
and headers ok and I have checked that this, is indeed where they are. I also
got a post from Gal who thought it may be to do with the ld.so not linking my
libraries so I did a ldconfig -v just incase this hadn't been updated but alas
I still get the same response.  I believe my main concern now is the......

configure: In function `int main()':
configure:911: warning: implicit declaration of function `int XtMalloc(...)'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lXt: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 908 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

I have checked the libXt.so file and it exists under my /usr/X11R6/lib
directory so I don't understand how it tells me there is no such file.  As for
the extra libs and extra includes, I have no idea what these should be.  Is
there an RPM package for them, if not there is a good chance I haven't
installed them, at the moment I'm mainly sticking to using RPM, till I get
better aquainted with using source.  Thanks for all the help, if anything I'm
learning a lot more about the system and where all the files are located.

Thanks

configure: error: configure could not run a little KDE program to test the

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>.
