kde-config and kdelibs error

I tried to colpile konversation and ktraynetworker but I got the same error on both:

configure: error: /usr/bin/kde-config --prefix outputed the non existant prefix '' for kdelibs.
This means it has been moved since you installed it.
This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix.

What can I do to fix it?
I have Mandrake 10 official.
I've already compiled some QT programs (such as Apollon) and they worked fine, the last thing I did before trying to compile these was to copy (and left them in the original directory) libGL.la and libGL.so to /usr/X11/lib because they weren't there and these programs needed them.
The libraries were located at /usr/lib.

Hmm, I tried to reproduce your problem but everything went fine... I am using Slackware 9.1 with KDE 3.2.2.
That configure error does sound strange, I have never encountered that kind of configure error and I have compiled KDE many times and seen many different kind of errors.

Have you tried to reinstall kdelibs?

I don't think that moving those libraries caused the error but why not just make a link from /usr/X11/lib to /usr/lib, instead of copying files.
Anyway since I couldn't reproduce that error it might be some Mandrake specific thing.

Hope that you get it fixed.

I couldn't fix it, and now kde doesn't start, X can't start too with my user.
Only root can start a graphic session with icewm.
I think this is big problem
