Of course.  :)

I have X in /opt/xorg, qt in /opt/qt->qt-3.3.8d and trinity in 
/opt/trinity.  My PATH is:

/opt/qt-4.8.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:
/opt/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:/opt/llvm/bin:
/opt/qt/bin:/opt/trinity/bin:/opt/xorg/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

PKG_CONFIG_PATH is:

/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/share/pkgconfig

/etc/ld.so.conf is:

/usr/local/lib  <- empty
/opt/lib        <- empty
/opt/xorg/lib
/opt/llvm/lib
/opt/qt/lib
/opt/trinity/lib

I don't use them either.

Interesting.  I don't think that should have been necessary, but I don't 
think it hurts anything.

That sounds like it's having problems finding your xorg headers and 
libraries.  Adding -l and -I parameters is needed where they are not 
found.  Perhaps there was a problem with PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

I haven't built KDE4 yet.  I'm just starting to look at it.  I like 
Trinity because you only need to build 3 main packages to get started 
(but it's harder now with cmake).  I generally only use the window 
manager, konsole, kicker, and a couple of minor utilities.
