Can you post the error message along wth some context lies? I have built Rc5, 
RC6 and now 3.1 without a problem. I must admit I built it as myslef.  
though. Can you possibly just cown the /opt/kde3.1 dir to yourself before 
trying to do the install. I imagine that will eliiminate the req of being 
super-user. The executables will still be executable by anyone. :)
I am sure we can get konstruct back on its feet again.

Thanks
Brian
