This sounds familiar.  The most unhelpful FAQ we've ever written:

  http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/faq.html#toc13

We had reports of absolutely troublefree Mandrake 8.2 development
environment installs, and other reports (including from one of the
other RG developers) of people wasting weeks trying to configure a
workable environment and just giving up.  I guess it must be
something pretty obvious, just not quite obvious enough.
