Configure is a script which builds your Makefiles. admin/configure means
the configure script in the admin directory which is not available in
that directory. (I don't know why but as long as I know kde it doesn't
work). You have to descent into every directory under kdesdk and execute
./configure in that directory, then type make, make install that should
work (at least it works for me).
