Kde 3.5 beta1 problems on mandriva le 2005

Hello everyone,
I have compiled kde 3.5 beta1 with construct by typing "make install" in the kdebase directory, next in the kdenetwork directory and a lot of things wasn't working correctly :
  • The configuration boxes didn't work ("Empty Page" with kcontrol, kopete configuration and konqueror configuration)
  • Konqueror couldn't connect to https sites (Unknown protocol, https)
  • I couldn't see any menu, I tried to use menudrake to rebuild the kde menu but it hasn't worked
  • I couldn't change the style, and when kpersonalizer ran, I have choice plastik and I have seen the kpersonalizer window using it.. but only this window :( I have only a default-ugly style

Next, I typed "make install" in the meta/kde directory and "make install" in the i18n/kde-i18n-fr directory :
  • The default ugly style has changed to another style, but not plastik :(
  • I could see the kopete configuration windows but it couldn't connect to msn because it seems to not support ssl (=> https for konqueror)
  • No menu yet :(
  • Some letters appeared with a different background color

Before running kde 3.5, I typed all the exports command and moved my ~/.kde to ~/.kde_old

What can I do? (I had the same problem with kde 3.5 alpha)

Which prefix did you install into?

Do you have that prefix in your KDEDIRS variable?

I use this script to start kde (which is installed in ~/kde3.5-beta1) :

#!/bin/sh
export QTDIR=~/kde3.5-beta1
export KDEDIR=~/kde3.5-beta1
export KDEDIRS=~/kde3.5-beta1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/kde3.5-beta1/lib
export PATH=~/kde3.5-beta1/bin:$PATH
export KDEHOME=~/.kde35
~/kde3.5-beta1/bin/startkde

I think the https problem is due to openssl-devel wasn't installed, but the others are here yet...
