OK, I may not have given enough information on my earlier request.

I *know* how to read the output of ./configure --help, so 
suggesting I try this:

./configure --with-qt-dir=the_path_where_qt_is_installed

is not all that helpful. Where *is* qt installed?

I am running KDE:
Qt: 2.3.1
KDE: 2.2.2

I have built some kde-related stuff so I know the libs and stuff 
are here.

here's what I have tried:

./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/X11R6/qt2 
--with-qt-libraries=/usr/X11R6/qt2/lib

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) 
not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

[/usr/home/paul/src/ktouch-1.0]:: tail config.log

int main() {
     QStringList *t = new QStringList();
     QIconView iv(0);
     iv.setWordWrapIconText(false);
     QString s;
     s.setLatin1("Elvis is alive", 14);
     int magnolia = QEvent::Speech; /* new in 2.2 beta2 */
     return 0;
}
