[linux-audio-user] building noteedit -- how to set KDEDIR, QTDIR

OK. The noteedit docs say to set the environment variables QTDIR and 
KTEDIR to the "path to your Qt installation" and "path to your KDE 
installation" respectively.  Those don't appear to be set by default, 
and looking around on groups.google.com turns up a thread that says KDE 
no longer uses KDEDIR or KDEDIRS, but instead there's a program called 
kde-config that should be used instead.

 From running "rpm -ql qt" I'm guessing that I should set QTDIR to 
/usr/lib/qt-3.1, but it's rather less clear what I should set KDEDIR to.

Looking around for kde-config options, I infer that KDEDIR should be set 
to what

    kde-config --path ???

outputs where one of the possible "type" values replaces ???, but it's 
not clear to me, even after looking at the configure script, what the 
intent is. Any help would be appreciated. (Also, shouldn't the configure 
script be changed to use kde-config itself, if KDEDIR is obsolete?)
