I think you have configured the wrong prefix. I don't know, if the configure script of kontact recognizes KDEDIR aor if this var is set.
I would check if "kontact" is in your kde binary directory, I assume /opt/kde3/bin.
I use checkinstall to install my self compiled apps, this helps me to keep my rpmdb up to date as well as alerting me to conflicts. In this case (Kontact) I kind of expected something might go not to my liking. Sure enough when I checked the rpm created by checkinstall I was able to see that things were being installed in /usr/local... I opened a new console # rpm -e NameOfPackage (removed the package) # cd /kdepim... # export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 (this has the same effect as configure with --prefix=/opt/kde3) # configure # make # su # password # checkinstall The export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3, command can be added to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile so that you won't need to use the configure with --prefix=/opt/kde3 option in the future. Hope this helps someone. - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+i1qyBwgxlylUsJARArw4AJ9UdHSE+TSU8VmFn79oQGp5npCUvQCcDTh4 iOcbIY+rk9zQFib5+VopBxY= =s99v -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
