Help: Compiling 2 versions of KDE in Kubuntu

[whaleshark]

I am trying to build another KDE version (3.5.6) on Kubuntu 3.5.6 (machine i686). I did all the steps described in KDE Developer's Corner page on Building Two Versions:

1. setup up another account
2. define directories in .profile

QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-stable
KDEDIR=/home/vivo/kde-unstable
KDEHOME=/home/vivo/.kde-unstable
PATH=./:$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KDEDIR/etc/xdg/:/etc/xdg/
export QTDIR KDEDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

3. install qt 3.3.6
4. install arts
5. When I tried installing kdelibs, I encountered this message during configure

cyrus-sasl 2 library is missing. The pop3 and smtp ioslaves will lack of a lot of authentication methods.
See http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/sasl-library.html or your distribution's packages.

You're missing libsmbclient from samba 3.0
KDE will not be able to browse windows shares without it,
consider installing it.
Look at kioslave/smb/libsmbclient-HOWTO.txt

No OpenEXR Libraries were found
Install the OpenEXR package (from http://www.openexr.org)
if you want EXR image format support

Sasl, openexr and samba have already been installed. when I attempted to build the source (make),
/usr/bin/ld cannot find -lssl. But I found the following shared libraries:

/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8

/sbin/ldconfig was also able to link the libraries mentioned above.

Do I need to set any other config file before building kdelibs?

I've never tried to do what you're doing, so I may be wrong, but I suspect that the problem is that, although you have installed the binaries for sasl, openexr and samba, you have not installed *-dev packages containing the source files and headers for these libraries. (*)buntu does not install source packages, by default. You have to dig them out on your own.

I've done what you're doing, and askrieger is correct. Most of the time, when configure complains about some missing package/library, you need to install the -dev or -devel package for that library. In this case, you need libssl-dev, libsmbclient-dev, and libopenexr-dev (try searching the repositories for clues, apt-cache search is your friend).
