=======================

Probably the easiest thing to do when starting your compiles is to do
the "export" commands before your configure.

Like this:
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 (for Debian)
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 (for SuSE and most others)

You might also want to do your KDE the same, if running KDE.
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 (for SuSE)

Remember that only the shell/konsole you issue these commands in will
pass these directions.  If you open another konsole, you have to redo
them.  After doing these, everything should find your QT3 & KDE files
they need to compile.
