Problem compiling KDE apps

I'm having a problem compiling kat. Also had the same problem with superkarumba.

Code:

# ./configure

(lots of checks here)

checking whether uic supports -L ... yes

checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes

checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no

checking for rpath... yes

checking for KDE... configure: error:

in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.

So, check this please and use another prefix!

#

Maybe the debian KDE libs are in a non-standard place? How do I tell configure where the headers are installed? It doesn't say how to change the prefix in the INSTALL text file.

Got it! I needed to install kdelibs4-dev. I thought that I had installed it, but a conflicting package was preventing it from installing. Sometimes apt can be tricky that way.
