It appears that I have enought kde/qt devel packages to make the configure script think it can build for kde, but I don't have all the necessary ones.

If you have no kde/qt devel packages installed, compiz builds fine. This should be added to the release-notes for RHEL 5.2
just to clarify, Cameron: when you say "build compiz", do you mean build the compiz rpm package from its srpm?
Yes. The rpm fails to build if the configure script detects certain qt/kde devel packages, but other necessary packages are missing. The configure script does not do a complete job detecting all necessary packages.
proposed release note: <quote> Running rpmbuild on the compiz source RPM will fail if any KDE or qt development packages (for example, qt-devel) are installed. This is caused by a bug in the compiz configuration script. To work around this, remove any KDE or qt development packages before attempting to build the compiz package from its source RPM. </quote> please verify if ok so i can add it up to the RHEl5.2 release notes. thanks!
Sounds good to me.
thanks Cameron. added to RHEL5.2 release notes updates.

KDE support has been removed from the Compiz package for RHEL 6 making this irrelevant on continuing basis. There are no plans to update RHEL 5 for this issue.
