Hi Andy
You should compile in this order -
1) qt-copy
2) arts
3) kdelibs
4) kdebase
5) other stuff

Then in /etc/profile or some appropriate place, set QTDIR to point to
the newly installed qt-copy directory. Also set KDEDIR to point to where
ever you installed the new KDE. Set PATH variable to include $QTDIR/bin:
$KDEDIR/bin in same file.

If you use a Fedora or Redhat system you should be able to set the above
in /etc/profile.

If you cannot do the above, you can do the following just before you
type startx (you have to do it each time you do startx)

$ export QTIR=/path/to/qt
$ export KDEDIR=/path/to/kde
$ export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
$ startx
