AFAIK Keith is upgrading an existing kde 2.1.1 installation on a machine 
running Sybil (new Caldera beta), and doesn't want to put everything into a 
_new_ KDEDIR but is happy to overwrite the old. This is similar to masochists 
like me who often recompile the latest offering from CVS to overwrite the 
old. Sometimes I make a copy of the old KDEDIR first as a fallback, mostly I 
take the risk.

To make sure that all the enviroment variables have been set up correctly, I 
find it easiest to use a script to compile, such as the following which has 
the correct paths for Sybil

-----snip here----
#!/bin/bash
# My source code is in /mnt/bkup/src/kde2.1
srcdir=/mnt/bkup/src/kde2.1

QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt2
KDEDIRS=/opt/kde2
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIRS/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIRS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTDIR KDEDIRS PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# feel free to add more to the pkgs line
pkgs="kdesupport kdelibs kdebase"

# cfgopts should all be on one line
cfgopts="--with-qt-dir=$QTDIR --with-qt-headers=$QTDIR/include 
--with-qt-libraries=$QTDIR/lib --prefix=$KDEDIRS 
--with-ssl-dir=/usr/lib/openssl"

mk=""
# uncomment the following if you want gcc to try to keep going after a 
problem
#mk="-k"

for i in $pkgs; do
	cd $srcdir/$i
 	ln -s ../kde-common/admin .
# 	make -f Makefile.cvs  # only for compilation from CVS
	./configure $cfgopts
	make $mk
	make $mk install
	echo -e "$i done"
done
---- and here ----

And, as you say, _don't_ run this from kde2 :-)

BTW, akar, I'm looking forward to seeing your tutorials.
