Hello:
Thank you for reply David.
This is passe but maybe needs just-a-little more attention.:)

You are correct, however, instl of -devel pkgs has nothing to do with
''$KDEDIR does not point to valid KDE2 instl'' or it most certainly
should not. SKDEDIR (kde path) should be defined whenever KDE is
installed, should it not?
Cause:
1) Either the $KDEDIR is not defined correctly during KDE2.1 install,
or-
2) QT is looking in the wrong place for 'vaild KDE2 installation',
or-
3) The reported 'error' is no error at all; hence should be removed or
corrected,
or-
4) your guess is as good as mine; better than mine actually.:)

Lets see: Months back, I installed LM7.2 'developer' as default install
but not _any_ KDE, not even base. Runs fine. No unusual pbs. In fact
runs _better_ w/out kde imo(I much prefer gdm & its configurability)
I decided to build KDE2.1 from src.rpm. Started with QT, as is
required; tried to work around chicken & egg pb by installing
C.Molnar's 2.1CVS files so that I would have a ''valid KDE2 instl'. I
used gnorpm to perform the install task + did the rebuilddb/update
stuff mentioned.
So, what's not installed 'correctly'? Seriously. If there is something
that is wrong with this I must know. I have changed very little from
the default devel install; major things being turning off services that
will get me cracked and installing tripwire and portsentry & other
rubbers.

Are you refering to beta or cooker compile/build of qt? ...cause it
don't work on 7.2 w/out pbs using mdk src.rpm. I do not lie
-ever(personal pb) but do make mistakes as we all do. i cannot find the
mistake here.
Yes , it builds but it builds without KDE2 QTD support according to the
error message that is repeated _twice_ during the build.
Just for fun, I just tried :
It's 19:10:19 on Thu Mar 8.
You are root at { /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS }
#> rpm --rebuild -vv qt2-2.2.4-3mdk.src.rpm
Installing qt2-2.2.4-3mdk.src.rpm
[...]
Build type: linux-g++-static
Thread support....... yes
GIF support.......... yes
MNG support.......... yes

NAS sound support.... no
Session management... yes
Creating makefiles...
You wanted to compile the Qt Designer with
KDE2 support, but $KDEDIR does not point
to a valid KDE2 installation. KDE support
has been turned off.
[...;]
***same error*** as before.
But this shows that KDE2.1 is installed since 4 Mar:

(yes, all of them were installed as was, guess what, qt2-2.4.3.)
SO, why does qt rebuild not recognize that there is a 'valid' instl ?!?
KDE2.1 was installed on this LM7.2 box using gnorpm, as are most rpms.
> if your system is correctly installed.
Ummm, please define ''correctly installed''.
It appears that you mean KDE _must_ be installed during the LM system
installation to have correct installation. That cannot be true...
Please say that is not true.:)
I do not like KDE that much - too much of a hog. If it must be
installed during initial system installation-setup, we must know cause
it is not normally installed[yes, I remove (uncheck in tree) _all_ kde
default packages before install begins].
I will be doing the same with Beta8-1 very soon... to/night/morrow...
and all future instl until KDE gets the resource usage down to
something reasonable(opinion).
