Yes, it is an environment variable that should be set to your toplevel KDE 
directory.  You said in a previous message that you used the following for 
your configure command-line:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mdk/kde

If KStars is not finding its data files, it is likely that /usr/share/mdk/kde 
is not your real KDEDIR.

What do you get when you type "echo $KDEDIR"?
What do you get when you type "which konqueror"?
I am guessing that one of these (or both) is not "/usr/share/mdk/kde".

You should run "./configure" again with the path where (for example) konqueror 
is installed.  This will be your true KDEDIR.   You can find this path easily 
by typing "which konqueror"; your KDEDIR is the path up to "bin/konqueror".  
i.e., if "which konqueror returns "/usr/kde/bin/konqueror", then use for your 
configure line: "./configure --prefix=/usr/kde".  Then run "make install" 
again, and all should be well.

Let me know whether this works.
