Yeah, that's your problem:

<snip>
	libkparts.so.2 => /usr//lib/libkparts.so.2 (0x0016e000)
	libkutils.so.1 => /usr//lib/libkutils.so.1 (0x00c0c000)
	libartskde.so.1 => /usr//lib/libartskde.so.1 (0x001d5000)
	libkio.so.4 => /usr//lib/libkio.so.4 (0x026ff000)
	libkdeui.so.4 => /usr//lib/libkdeui.so.4 (0x07c51000)
	libkdesu.so.4 => /usr//lib/libkdesu.so.4 (0x0051d000)
</snip>

You'll notice that most of your KDE libraries are being found in /usr/lib 
instead of /usr/local/kde-svn/lib like akode:

	libakode.so.2 => /usr/local/kde-svn/lib/libakode.so.2 (0x00f2b000)

Now, the double-slash thing (/usr//lib) is odd.  I'm not sure what would cause 
that other than libtool being stupid.  Do you explicity set --prefix when 
configuring your modules?  If you don't then the configure script might pick 
up the wrong library directory when trying to link the executables.  Although 
judging from the ldd output it looks like the executable correctly looks for 
only the soname (e.g. libkdesu.so.4 instead of the full path), it apparently 
has a hardcoded /usr//lib embedded in the executable.  I'm not sure what part 
of libtool causes that or would fix it though. :(

As far as why the Fedora juk finds the correct libraries, perhaps their 
executables don't have dynamic path entries embedded, and so the dynamic 
linker uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of the missing /usr//lib information?
