I believe that the correct thing to do with FreeBSD's KDE install is to set KDEDIR to /usr/local. I do this in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc here. (I have KDE in /usr/local/kde here, too, so I haven't tested it as /usr/local.) > Yes, for better or for worse (I'd vote for worse), the FreeBSD ports > install the kde headers in /usr/local/include..

However, this app needs to find some 3rd-party include files, so --prefix is not appropriate. FWIW, I've found that using /usr/local/kde instead of /usr/local has, in my case, been most helpful. I don't advocate it for every tiny library, but for something as large and complex as KDE, it works well.
