It may or may not be.  Here's a check list I try to go through if I get errors
in compilation
1) Did you remember to do make -f Makefile.cvs before hand?
2) Did you build and install kdesupport and kdelibs first?
3)  Are they current?

Ususally, if Ive done all those things and still get errrors, I'll try removing
the directory in which I'm having the problem and rechecking-out the whole
thing.  Sometimes, I do it with the entire package.  Of course, if you dont
have high speed Net access, this is not as feasible.

Hope that helps.
