That sounds quit funny.... and you used root (or something like su -c "make 
install" to perform the installation as root) to install them?
Another reason could be maybe, that you don't defined the right 
target-directory (the ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`).

It still works fine for me. I use
cd koffice     # to cd into the top-directory where the lib and the kexi 
directories are located
svn up         # I do that to update my local repository with the newest 
sources. Shouldn't be needed on your case cause you have already nearly fresh 
sources.
make clean # Sometimes it's needed to remove all previous compiled stuff. 
After the "make clean" everything will be rebuild
make -f Makefile.cvs # create the configuration
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` # the prefix defines where I like 
to install my files. If I send a kde-config --prefix to the Konsole, I get 
"/usr" as result. So, Kexi will be installed to my /usr directory.
make # compile everything
su -c "make install" # install what I compiled. Cause I don't use root to 
compile the sources, I need to execute the "make install" with su (switch 
user).

I am not sure what you mean with "doesn't change anything". Nothing got 
compiled? Well, that's the case cause you compiled it already. If you like to 
recompile everything just use "make clean" and then "make". If you mean, that 
nothing got installed, then you maybe got an errormessage? or maybe it's 
installed into the wrong directory (the --prefix option as explained above)?

I hoped that helped and if not, please provide us the output of your configure 
&& make install commands, so we are able to find the reason for it :)

Thanks for your feedback and may the force be with us.
