[Sorry for replying a bit late. ]

So KDESYCOCA isn't needed? Then can someone point me what's wrong with this:

$ cat environment.sh
#!/bin/sh

PREFIXDIR=$HOME/local/kde

#export QTDIR=$PREFIXDIR
export KDEDIR="$PREFIXDIR"
export KDEDIRS="$PREFIXDIR":"$KDEDIRS"
export KDEHOME="$HOME/.kde-head"

export KDETMP=/tmp/kdehead-$USER
mkdir -p $KDETMP
export KDEVARTMP=/var/tmp/kdehead-$USER
mkdir -p $KDEVARTMP
#export KDESYCOCA=$KDEVARTMP/ksycoca

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$KDEDIR/lib"
export PATH="$KDEDIR/bin":"$PATH"

Without uncommenting the KDESYCOCA line, kbuildsycoca overwrites the "stable" 
version:

$ kbuildsycoca
kbuildsycoca running...
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-alex/ksycoca
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 79, expecting version 92 or higher.
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 79, expecting version 92 or higher.
kbuildsycoca: Recreating ksycoca file (/var/tmp/kdecache-alex/ksycoca, version 
92)

In my case I'm running the distribution's KDE 3.4, and in $HOME/local/kde I 
have installed KDE 3.5.

Greetings.
