Well I corrected one mistake. On svn I was asking for 13x when I should have 
been asking for 135x. And on the Kubuntu side I needed to install 
build-install also.  Slackware has all the compile requirements as  standard. 
Guess I am spoiled.

On Slack I noted that if I linked certain include files into my compile 
directory then errors went away. So I linked /usr/lib/Qt4-4.3.3/include 
to /usr/include/qt4. That solved many errors. 

I also had a problem with missing *qt* files in /usr/bin so I moved them also 
from another partition to /usr-bin. Now the compile proceeds.

The installation of qt4 etc. on my system had some missing or misplaced 
pieces.  At the moment I am up to 33% of make and things are coming along. 

Haven't tried to debug the Kubuntu install further. One copy will be enough 
for now. 

Life will be simpler when Qt4 matures enough to be included in Slack!

Thanks for all helpful comments.
