kde 3.5.0 installation - Qt and zlib related errors

Hi everyone!
I am using Trustix (a Fedora-based server-usage distribution) and this has no graphical user interface, not even the Midnight Commander :tongue: This OS has the 2.4.31 kernel, but most of the general libraries and compilers and stuff have quite recent versions.
So I installed a graphical server (XFree86) and I want now to install KDE. I got all the packages from the site and the how-to and I tried to follow it step-by-step reading all the official documentation encountered.
I choosed to install KDE 3.5.0 and looked for the necessary dependencies. I found out that I need Qt. I got the latest stable source version (4.1.0) and compiled and installed that.
Now, when I start checking for the instalation of the KDE packages (aRts - as it is recomended the first to be installed), ./configure gives me an error message, and it's something like: "libz: probably XFree86 overwrote an older version. Please remove it from your system." So I guessed I don't have zlib installed or something - but I found that there IS libz, and it's version 1.2.3. (the most recent). So I hide the libz-1.2.3 file, run ./configure again and I get another error message: "Qt error (version >= Qt 3.3 and <= Qt 4)".
So my questions are: do I need an older version of Qt (between 3.3 and 4.0)? and what do I have to do with zlib so that it can be used?
Thans,
Alin.
