Make doesnt install anything, it just compiles a binary and the libraries. Make Install installs the binary and its libraries to its proper location. Given that you suppllied the configure script with the proper prefix.

What prefix did you give for ./configure?

From a terminal run 'which konqueror'. The output should be /usr/bin/konqueror. Whatever the output is, that would be your prefix minus the 'konqueror'. So if the output was /usr/bin/konqueror you would configure as ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin
