[Kexi] Building kexi

[Colin Hersom]

Thanks for the replies.

Since posting this I have attempted to compile Kexi2 instead.  In fact I 
compiled the whole of koffice2.  This has worked to a point but when I 
run it I get messages saying that it cannot find the sqlite driver, 
despite the fact that the compilation ensured early on that the driver 
was available.  I have installed to a local directory, which I think 
should be OK, so I do not need root privileges to install to /usr

Does anyone have thoughts on this problem?
