I have very little experience with KDE/Qt, but it looks like the
compilation process (specifically, the configure script) is looking for
various header file provided by KDE, perhaps the Qt interface.  If you
installed KDE from .debs, did you install the *dev packages?

Otherwise, if you installed the KDE stuff manually, you'll need to go back
and ensure you got the necessary parts of the system to allow building new
apps from scratch.

If you *do* have the KDE/Qt headers installed, then the configure script
simply isn't looking in the right place.  Run `configure --help' and look
for an option which allows you to set the include path.

HTH,
