Well i dont have KDE but that error means you dont have the X-header files
included, check out /usr/X11R6/include which should have 2 files and 2
directorys, /usr/X11R6/include/X11 should have a lot, in total something
like 715, shown with ls -al top line. Or they could be in the wrong
directory. For example a missing symlink.
You can find the header files included in the X-development package found
on your install medium, ie, cdrom.

Thats for linking lib's, and the error is about header files.
Possably someone who has installed KDE could give you more spesific
instructions.
