Hello all,
 
Many thanks to those of you who very kindly responded to my post.  

I took the approach suggested by Carlos, and used Easy Urpmi and Mandrake 
tools to download the missing packages and then installed the applications. 

This works specifically with Mandriva distributions and in my case it has 
served as an alternative to compiling kdewebdev3.3.2.

In the end, it was really quite simple.


Perhaps someone may find this useful, this is what you do,


Step 1.

erpmi is part of a command set which forms Mandriva's software package 
management system.

EasyUrpmi website is a command line generator tool which can generate up to 6 
url based package resource groups - you select the group and a suitable 
mirror and it then generates the addmedia command. All you have do is copy 
the command and run it from the root command line. The site contains no 
instructions and gives no indication of what to do with the resources. So its 
best to google for a howto for details.

In my case, I just selected all six and then copied them, one by one, to the 
commandline on my machine.

The following is typical of the command line samples generated by EasyUrpmi,

urpmi.addmedia jpackage 
ftp://ftp.caliu.info/pub/distribucions/mandrake/official/2005/i586/media/jpackage 
with media_info/hdlist.cz

(   ..note: this is all one line)

thats all we need to do with EasyUrpmi



Step 2

With my package database updated, I looked for the missing applications. 

I started by trying to find 'kdewebdev', 

# urpmq --fuzzy kdewebdev
>kdewebdev
>kdewebdev-kfilereplace                  <-here's one
>kdewebdev-kommander                 <-here's another 
>libkdewebdev0
>libkdewebdev0-devel
>libkdewebdev0-kfilereplace
>libkdewebdev0-kfilereplace-devel
>libkdewebdev0-kommander
>libkdewebdev0-kommander-devel


what about tidy? 

# urpmq --fuzzy tidy
>jtidy
>jtidy-javadoc
>jtidy-scripts
>libtidy0.99
>libtidy0.99-devel
>perltidy
>php-tidy
>php5-tidy
>tidy                                                     <-this one I think


what about Kompare?

# urpmq --fuzzy Kompare
>no package named Kompare
>The following packages contain Kompare:
>kdesdk                                              <-maybe
>libkdesdk1
>libkdesdk1-devel


Step 3

Okay, all found, so lets install. Hence,

# urpmi kdewebdev-kommander
# urpmi kdewebdev-kfilereplace
# urpmi kdesdk
# urpmi tidy

note: urpmi will prompt to continue if dependancies are detected - so just 
accept and continue.


Thats it. A piece of cake.
