If I remember there is a bug in the configure script, what I had to do was
remove the first occurance of -ldl from a LIBS="$LIBS -ldl", (before this
is a line that saves the $LIBS variable (I think that's the line) it's
somewhere around the checking for X part, if you look in the config.log
you'll find lots of errors relating to -ldl,so look at the line numbers
and look for the occurance before them and find that configure is saying
no to things that do exist, once altered the script runs and doesn't want
-ldl any more, Note this is all from memory as I've now deleted the
kdebase dir as I needed the disc space...
