Thank you everybody, I appreciate it. I noticed that in my case, the pdebuild solution didn't work until I installed the pkg-kde-tools on my host system (it is a dependency in my case). I guess that tool is used during source build? Anyway, all of the replies were very useful (I ended up using all of the solutions at different times). Thanks, --Shawn
