I am running into a problem building the kdelibs-3.5.6 package.
I am on a Oracle Enterprise Distribution. I do not have root access, and have no chance of getting it or talking to someone who has.
I am attempting to install into my home directory (as I have lots of space).
I have qt and all dependents installed and there appears to be no issue with the following exception:

The situation is: When I make kdelibs it eventually tells me that it I am missing bzip2 development libraries. This occurs during config.status depfiles execution. I did build and install bzip2-1.0.4 locally (this created shared and static libs). As far as I can tell the required dev libraries for bzip2 are created if you build locally from source. I looked at a few RPMs and this is all they seem to contain .. I cannot use the RPMs as they want to drop files into /usr/local tree.

What I have tried: I have tweaked konstruct/kde/kdelibs/Makefile so that my local directories are visible to configure. This has no effect. I have also linked the libs into the kde3.5.6/lib directory (just a guess) also with no effect.

Any suggestions .. anyone?

Is does not seem to be that easy. I have already enhanced the configure arguments in the kdelibs/Makefile so that that configure would include the local lib and include directories. They were picked up ok ... I can see them being used in the kdelibs-3.5.6/config.status etc.

ANy other suggestions ..?
