Well, the error message pretty much tells you what's wrong. You should select 
your prefix differently/manually instead of relying on configure's KDE 
autodetection. As far as I know the configure of a KDE project searches for 
KDE in certain locations but obviously not the one chosen by you or RedHat. 
Therefore you should either define $KDEDIR to point to your KDE (3.x) 
installation or use the --prefix parameter of configure to set it. Enter 
"./configure --help" to see all available options of configure.

In the instructions on www.kwintv.org you can see an example of setting the 
$KDEDIR, among other things, before starting configure:

export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3
export QTDIR=/opt/qt3
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

However, this example is most certainly not correct for a RedHat installation. 
I don't think they put KDE (3.x) in a directory named /opt/kde3. Instead, 
find out where your KDE (3.x) is installed and set $KDEDIR correctly. Then 
try "./configure" again.

I hope this helped.
