excuse me? 1: Debian respects KDEDIR if it were used. But even upstream doesn't use it unless the user set's it. 2: QTDIR is respected if you set it. 3: FHS 4: I don't understand the problems you are having? I have never had a problem building a KDE or a QT based application. If QTDIR needs to be set all you have to do is export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt and be done with it. KDE apps build out of the box without having to set a thing unless the application author did something wrong. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
