I'm not sure precisely what happened. What is your base version of KDE? I 
assume this is a release and not an SVN build?

It appears that something is wrong here, but I'm not sure why you're picking 
it up on a make install. If something got by us on release I'm guessing you 
would not be the first/only one reporting. Version testing on install is also 
rather unusual, but I'm going to assume you did a make as user before doing 
make install as root... otherwise that would likely be your problem. If this 
is the case and there is a test in make install then it's possible that your 
root environment is not set up right... except there shouldn't be a test here 
as it should all be done on configure and make. It is possible to skip the 
make step and just make install, but if something goes wrong you could end up 
with half an install/upgrade.

Andras is travelling right now but he would be the one to give a final answer, 
unless you did something odd. BTW another possible cause of problems here is 
manipulating source files as root and later as user. This can make saving 
configuration data fail and give all kinds of errors, like what you're 
getting. For that you can do as root in your project directory
chown [user].[group] -R *
And then start again from configure, possibly even doing a make clean first.

I hope this helps.
