If you install without using RPM your commands would be similair to:
	./configure --prefix=/usr/src/kde
for your home system.
If you prefer RPM apckages the commands to create the right RPM would be:
	./configure --with-rpm-prefix=/uisr/src/kde
bibletime.spec is the RPM SPEC file which contains the right values for your 
system.

The new options to set valöues in the SPEC file are:
	--with-distribution=STRING
	--with-distribution-version=STRING
	--with-rpm-prefix=STRING
	--with-rpm-group=STRING
They should only be used if you want to create a SPEC file for an up to this 
point by our configure script unsupported Linux distribution (e.g. TurboLinux 
or Caldera).
For known distributions the values are set automatically. The current known 
systems are SuSE, Red Hat, Mandrake and partially Debian.
