KDE uses the KSYCOCA (= K System COnfiguration Cache ) stored on the local 
disk. The program kbuildsyscoca, which has to be installed.
If the databse is not availble there may be problems, I'm not sure.

The define should be STATIC_BUILD. I'll add a configure option for this.

Not really. If you compiled KDE2 with the configure option --prefix=<some 
prefix> the libs do also look there even if KDEDIR or KDEDIRS are empty.
That's why you have to move your KDEDIR away.

Brook,. you submitted a bug report on SourceForge with some example images. 
The URL you wrote at the end of the report is invalid. What's the right one?
