Two possibilities: output an errormessage telling the user what's missing
where or installing a personal versinon of the files in the user's home
directory.

Hmmm, I'm not sure, but if you look at admin/acinclude.m4.in (where the
KDE_FIND_PATH ist defined) it has copyright messages up to 1999... But
again, I'm no expert, just a guess.

How do other applications perform the task of getting the right paths? Did
you look at the output of a KDevelop generated project? Btw, are you using
KDevelop? There is a project file, but e.g. the admin/ stuff we are
talking about here doesn't seem to be autogenerated to me...

Hmmm, strange. ldd says that kmatplot/kmatplot is not a shared library! So
I assume it is linked statically. At the moment I'm recompiling with
--with-kde-dir=3D/opt/kde2 and --with-qt-dir=3D/usr/lib/qt2. This takes qui=
te
a long time on my 300 MHz MII, so I assume I'll probably be able to give
you more success or error reports tomorrow morning.

I'll try it again if my current comiler run has finised and keep you
informed.

Sorry, a misunderstanding - there was no post here. I talked to Torsten
some time ago about another problem and during the discussion he mentioned
that KDEDIR should be obsoleted at that time; I'm not sure if this is
really the case in the mean time or not (havn't compiled KDE myself for
some time...).
