Google showed me a few other people with the same problems but no solution, so I looked into it. No patch I'm afraid, my automake-fu is weak. Source: KDE 3.5 Branch SVN Build Tool: kdesvn-build Full KDE installed from debs. kdesvn-build set to install kdelibs to a subdirectory of $HOME kdelibs will build happily without libbz2-dev installed and just a configure warning about the help ioslave. If you do this then meinproc (in kdoctools) is not built and a number of resource files (i.e. kde-man.xsl) are not installed. Once kdelibs is built I compile kdebase. Now, as meinproc is installed on the system the configure checks for it in kdebase passes, however the build system then expects the resource files to be in the chosen install dir (i.e. $HOME/install) which as the version of kdelibs there does not have meinproc does not contain them. The build thus falls over. Proposed solution: Install the resource files for meinproc whether or not meinproc is being built. A second problem is that meinproc depends on xmllint being present and in spite of the configure check will fail if it is not found.
