When KDE was young (1.x to 2.0 days) I would rebuild
the KDE source rpms without problems.  Since late in
the 2.x and into the 3.x versions I have given up on
rebuilding the rpms.  Somewhere along the line the
complexity and just plain difficulty of getting the
rpms to build got to be too much.  I would
consistently fail to get either kdebase and/or kdelibs
built.  After fiddling with them for a time, I gave up
and have since stuck with the binary rpms.

Somethin' ain't right in the KDE source somewhere -
you meet all the dependencies and still can't get it
to build.  There is a magic trick performed by the KDE
developers and/or Mandrake that does manage to get it
all built with all the nice extra support switches
activated...but they ain't telling the how of their
magic trick.
