There is lots of information about installing KDE here:
http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdebase/faq/install.html
As far as I'm aware, and as the FAQ seems to imply, moving KDE after make
install wont actually work. You need to specify the prefix you want KDE
installed to as an argument to the configure script, and ultimately install
KDE to be run from that location (although often people use a temporary
directory to build packages from in between.)
Konstruct was not designed to be used as the root user. It was designed for a
non root user to use it without overwriting their system KDE. So, if you
wanted it to ultimately live in your home directory you should run make
install as that user.
If you had a properly built, working KDE 3.4 then you would run it by setting
these environment variables in your shellrc file or ~/.profile, using the
value of the QT you built KDE against and the folder KDE is installed into
now
QTDIR=/path/to/QT
KDEDIR=/path/to/KDE/folder
PATH=/path/to/KDE/folder/bin:$PATH
Your xinitrc should then contain
exec /path/to/KDE/folder/bin/startkde
as it's last line.
Some have said that KDEDIR is deprecated and you should use KDEDIRS instead. I
find KDEDIR works for me, but if you prefer use KDEDIRS.
