compiling KDE apps

[Frank Van Damme <frank.vandamme@student.kuleuven.ac.be>]

Hi list,

Every now and then I meet a good app that isn't in Debian (sid) and compile it 
myself. It doesn't always seem so simple wth kde apps however. I tried to 
compile kopete; Compiling goes fine but when I run the program (from the 
source dir,) the prompt comes back immediately, and there's no kopete window. 
This is in my proces list:

yalu       621  0.0  5.9 25248 15300 ?       S    12:04   0:00 kopete -session 
117f000001000

When I run  from /usr/local/stow/kopete, where I installed it, this is what I 
get:

kopete: KopeteEmoticons::initEmoticons : WARNING: emoticon-map not found

Anyone?
