I guess that QTDIR hasn't been set correctly (is still pointing to 
/usr/lib/qt2) when you are doing the kde compiles. I don't know how you are 
doing the compiles but I find it easiest to use a bash script so that I don't 
have to type the commands in by hand and forget something when I am doing it. 
It also means that you can run the script from within kde 2 without any 
problems...
