Okay, I didn't have the KDE development packages. I discovered this the cheesy way. I went to Debian, found the packages, and then used apt-get to get them. Since they installed, I knew I hadn't had them. (It's cheesy because you don't have to look around your system for them.) These packages eliminated the prefix problem. But I ran into another error telling me I didn't have libkipi. So I downloaded libkipi and compiled it. That was the first thing I've compiled in my life, believe it or not. With libkipi, I was finally able to compile the kipi-plugins with one exception. There was one I couldn't compile because, according to the error message, I didn't have lighoto2. I actually do have that installed, but was really only interested in the plugin that allows me to e-mail pictures from Digikam. Therefore, I have been as successful as I set out to be. The compiling took a long time. The program comes already compiled on SuSE. Debian seems to be a distro for people with time on their hands. But I have to admit I've learned more using Debian than I have using Red Hat, Mandrake or SuSE. But it sure is nice to be able to install stuff with apt. Thanks again Bill and Henry.
