There have been a couple of posts to the list about this but no solution that I have seen. I do have the obvious packages like libkonq-dev (i.e. I selected anything which looked relevant). I am building from a Root Console window, so I'm root already when running debian/rules binary.

But I've had a lot of false starts on this so I've just downloaded the latetest source package again and will start from fresh in case. Thanks for your input. Regards David
