in fact your version of KDE is too old. If I recall correctly, KMDI (which is 
the kde library to provide an MDI interface) was added in KDE 3.2, and KDE 
3.2.x requires Qt 3.2.x.
There is no easy workaround for this, other than to upgrade your installation 
(KDE 3.2.0 was released more than two years ago, so even Red Hat Enterprise 
should have it by now). Probably you will have to upgrade R as well (rkward 
currently requires R >= 2.1.0).

> I've pasted the configure and make output below just in case it helps:

The error message and information you gave above are indeed the root of the 
problem. Unfortunately, it's hard to catch all such cases in ./configure. At 
least, I've finally updated the depends information on kde-apps.org.

Thomas
