No problem, Tez. I appreciate your time and advise- never any hurry!

I've given up on the plugings. Now, I just want KPA. When I configure
with no options, it works, but I get this on make:
--snip--
-DQT_CAST_NO_ASCII  -MT imageloader.o -MD -MP -MF
".deps/imageloader.Tpo" -c -o imageloader.o imageloader.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/imageloader.Tpo" ".deps/imageloader.Po"; else rm -f
".deps/imageloader.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
/usr/share/qt3/include/qcstring.h:331: internal compiler error:

I'm not about to file a GCC bug as I'm pretty sure that the problem is
me, not GCC! When I try to configure with the options that you had
suggested I get this:
dotancohen at ety:~/Desktop/KPhotoAlbum/kphotoalbum-2.2-noi18n$
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --datadir=/usr/share
--snip--
checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking if C++ programs can be compiled... no
configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution
you might miss
a package named similar to libstdc++-dev.

But I cannot find any package named libstdc++-dev. I then tried to
configure with the latest options that you mentioned, but the machine
crashes on make (happened twice).
