Kontruct Error - installing KDE 3.2

Using SUSE 9.0 Pro with KDE 3.1.4 installed.
I am trying to install KDE 3.2 using konstruct and receive following error:

Another Question - Should konstruct run in a specific folder?

In much needed help

Thanks John

try
[code:1]export CC=gcc[/code:1]

and then run konstruct.

Another Problem

Thanks for your tip. Everything seems to work fine, until I got this message:

checking for pcre-config... /usr/bin/pcre-config
configure: error: You're missing libpcre.
Download libpcre from http://www.pcre.org or find a binary package for your platform.
Alternatively, you can specify --disable-pcre, but some web pages - using regular
expressions in Javascript code - will not work correctly, the regexp support being
quite limited if libpcre isn't present.

make: *** [install] Error 2

Any Idea
Thanks

Install pcre and pcre-devel packages. See
