I'm pretty sure you forgot to do a make install.
If you do not want to install in the default place, then configure using
--prefix, and the set the KDEDIRS environment variable to point to that
location.
Example:
./configure --prefix=/home/joe/mykde
make
make install
export KDEDIRS=/home/joe/mykde:$KDEDIRS

Hope that helps.
