==============

Have you tried using "export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3" in your shell, before 
starting the compile?  Also, do you have QT3 3.0 or greater installed?  
I believe it's just a matter of you pointing the configure to your QT3.  
Did you run /sbin/SuSEconfig after updating your KDE?

Just some thoughts, maybe something will click.
