You can also install to a different prefix (including in your home director=
y=20
even) by passing the --prefix option to configure.

You must then change the setting of the KDEDIRS environment variable,=20
preceding it with the new prefix.

i.e. if you were to use /opt/flash-kde, you'd pass --prefix=3D/opt/flash-kd=
e in=20
the configure scripts for kdelibs and kdebase.

Before trying to run konqueror (this would probably be easiest from a=20
Konsole/gnome-terminal) you'd do something like:

$ export KDE3PREFIX=3D"/opt/flash-kde"
$ export KDEDIRS=3D"$KDE3PREFIX:$KDEDIRS"
$ export PATH=3D"$KDE3PREFIX/bin:$PATH"
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D"$KDE3PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
$ konqueror

(the LD_LIBRARY_PATH thing may not be necessary if your distribution uses=20
RUNPATH entries in binaries correctly).  Running konqueror from a tty shoul=
d=20
also stop it from staying in memory (preloading) for ease of debugging.

There are various scripts out there to automatically build KDE but it's=20
probably easier just to run through it manually.
