I changed PATH precedence , and reconfigured and that worked.  meinproc is 
in /usr/local/kde/bin. One would think configure would be intelligent to use 
dest dir bin as first precedence to find embedded utilites but guess not.

export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-3.3.2
export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LDFLAGS=-R$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CPPFLAGS="-I$KDEDIR/include -I/usr/local/include"
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
