Hi!

At the moment, there's a problem with the configure process when using
multiple
kde source trees on one system:
the compilation process of kdebase depends on successfully installed
kdelibs.
Basically, there's nothing wrong with that, but if installing of kdelibs
into $PREFIX failed, kdebase uses an arbitrary chosen standard include
dir for
ac_kde_includes, ignoring an explicit --prefix argument.
This is because a list of include dirs is searched for ksock.h, and the
directory
where it is found first is assumed the include dir.
(see kdebase/configure at line 5677 or something near that)

IMHO, if configure is called with --prefix, kde_incdir should be set to
a subdir
of $PREFIX or $EXEC_PREFIX and nothing else, even though i know kde
cannot
work without correctly compiled libs, i.e. the socket code. But the
configure
process should not depend on successful installation of kdelibs at all.

Please consider modifying the configure script so that it fails when no
ksock.h
is found in a subdir of $PREFIX, if --prefix=... was provided to the
configure script.

Cheers,
Tobias
