That would be the first question. Next is: does the CMake setting for the 
install prefix is where your KDE lives? It happened to me several times that I 
saw /usr/local instead of /usr for this setting. If that is the case, run 
'sudo make uninstall' first before you change anything. Otherwise a stray 
installation of KMyMoney is kept on your disk.

Did you run 'sudo make install' at all? It is required, esp. if you 
modify/build the plugins. That is what Allan also mentioned in his last 
paragraph. Again, running make install is a *must* for plugin code.
