Strange. I send a copy of this mail to Torsten Rahn from the KDE team,
perhaps he can give us some comments.

Hmmm, shouldn't be too hard to check if the files are in the assumed
places? Unfortunately, I don't know enough of the KDE stuff yet to be
really hepful in this department.

Not being an expert in autoconf things, this seems to be a problem with
your autoconf configuration files in the admin directory which seem to be
taken from a KDE1 installation.

Hmmm, at the moment I didn't install kmatplot at all, I just wanted to
test it in the directory where it was compiled. If I understood Torsten
correctly some time ago the KDEDIR variable is obsolete and is not being
used any more? However, compiling and starting from the directory without
being installed should always work, I assume. But also following your
hints doesn not work, I get the same error...
