Usually this is need in special cases only, like installing into a 
separate directory (not in the standard KDE directory) or when you have 
several Qt/KDE versions.

If you have only one Qt/KDE and as I see KDE is in /usr and qt is 
in /usr/lib/qt3 and you want to install Quanta in /usr, you don't need 
to do anything special with those env. variables. If you want to put 
Quanta in /usr/local, you must:
configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

and every time before you run Quanta set the KDEDIRS variable so it 
includes /usr/local as well. For example:
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local:$KDEDIRS
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH (so the quanta from /usr/local/bin is 
found)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (this might no be 
needed, but anyway, it can help in some cases. The reason is like for 
the PATH, but for libraries.)
