Not a trivial undertaking - I'm still trying. I've had to update the
following from cooker:
libmng, libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, openldap, libaudiofile0*.
I then managed to build kdesupport and kdelibs but kdebase chojed on ldap - I
had to use the undocumented configure option "--without-ldap" to get kdebase
built.
Just now kdebindings choked - couldn't find javah.
