I really doubt that these settings for KDEDIR and QTDIR are correct. The 
problem is that RedHat is putting KDE directly into /usr (at least "older" 
versions and I believe the latest one does that as well). This means that for 
example the binaries for KDE on RedHat can be found in /usr/bin, mixed with 
all the other non-KDE applications...

Other Linux distributions, like SuSE, put KDE into its own directory 
structure, for example /opt/kde3. This makes it much easier to set KDEDIR 
(KDEDIR is the top directory containing the KDE binaries, libs, etc.).

Now, I don't know the exact settings for RedHat since I have not used it in 
years. Maybe you can't even solve this by setting just KDEDIR to the correct 
value and there is some other solution for this?! I guess I should make it 
clear that the script on www.kwintv.org to set KDEDIR etc. is just tested on 
SuSE and won't work for RedHat users?

Try not to set any of those values before compiling, just do a ./configure and 
see if it detects the correct KDE/QT paths. Maybe do an "echo $KDEDIR" and 
"echo $QTDIR" before to see whether or not RedHat defines these by default.

Good luck!

P.S.: Maybe someone with more RedHat experience can help out here?!
