You could try 'method 2':
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kexi/2005-October/000025.html

It mentions editing a file in your home directory called .profile.
Try that first, if it doesn't work, then I know for sure that .bashrc
will work instead.

You need the following packages installed first, before you try the above:
build-essential kdelibs4-dev automake1.7 libreadline5-dev

Also libpqxx-dev (it's in the 'universe' repository) if you want PostgreSQL 
support (probably not), and libmysqlclient-dev (or something) for MySQL 
support.

Hope that's enough to get you started?
