Try ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/updates
(or something like that).

First, did you install the QT libraries? You can find links to an RPM for them at
www.kde.org
Second, if I remember correctly, you cannot use gcc 2.7.x to compile KDE. You have to
use a later version or egcs 1.x
