The primary message I get with these failed builds is about kde not
being able
to link a program, and that I should make sure that I compile qt with
the same
compiler that I am using for trying to build kdebase.  Needless to say,
the 
compiler is identical.  I have tried recompiling and installing qt-1.44,
there
are no errors, but the result is the same for kdebase-1.1.2-61mdk and
for kdeutils.

kdelibs and kdesupport compile fine IF I first install their src rpms
and then
run "rpm -bb <appropriate spec>".  If I try to run "rpm --rebuild .." on
the
same src rpm, it fails with the same message about failing to link a
program,
compile qt with the same compiler, etc.  This does NOT work with
kdebase.  No
matter how I try it, it fails with that same message.

I am now looking at reinstalling 7.0 and upgrading from there again.  It
keeps
appearing to me that some small subtle problem exists on my system since
trying
to upgrade MOST of it to 7.2beta, and that it could prove almost
impossible to 
find that problem.  I cannot compile gcc either, glibc compiling
produces a HUGE
list of "invalid character 45..." messages, but does produce installable
glibc
i686 rpms.  Most other src rpms have built and installed fine.  KDE is
really 
proving to be a problem.

I considered just going ahead and trying to build and install kde-1.95
but I cannot
get qt2 to compile.  IT gives me errors that seem to indicate that it
cannot find
files that IT supplies.  

That's as it stands now.  It doesn't seem appropriate to submit a bug
report about
my kde problems because those src rpms are from Mandrake 7.1 while the
rest of
my system is, essentially, mandrake 7.2beta.
