where are KDE headers

Hi
Could someone please tell me where the kde headers are stored or give me a filename of these headers that I can look for.
I understand different distros might have the headers in different locations.
My problem is a ./configure script checks for these headers and cannot find them.
Ive been told that I may be missing some KDE packages, I really dont think this is the case, I may be wrong, but I've installed all the KDE 3.2.2 dev, lib, doc , etc packages.

Header files are files with an *.h extension, and are usually found in the "include" directory...........................for kde that would be kde/include

You might have to pass the include path to the configure script to point it in the right direction.......................Run the command ./configure --help. Then look for something like "--with-kde-includes=DIR" or maybe use "--with-extra-includes=", probably at the bottom, under the heading "Optional Packages:"..................DO NOT use "--includedir=DIR" to point it to the kde headers, that will merely install the program's header files in kde's include directory....................The keyword to look for is "--with-name-includes="
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on.
