yes, in fact I use a separate user. I guess this is highly recommended, as it 
seems to be the only good way to keep a "clean" KDE3 environment installed in 
parallel.

I use the one from debian, and this seems to work fine. I had to make sure the 
correct version of "moc" (/usr/bin/moc-qt4) was the first to be picked up in 
the path (I placed it ~/kde/bin/ for the kde4 user).

I use the one from the debian repository (2.4-patch 7).

No. Are you sure you have the right path for "/path/to/rkward/sources"? This 
should point to the directory containing a CMakeLists.txt starting 
with "PROJECT (rkward)". That's my only idea on this ATM.
