Need help installing KDE 3.3.2 (UPDATE: Konstruct didn't work!)

Howdy guys!
I just installed Mandrake 10.1 Mini, that Mandrake distro that comes with nothing, only the OS. Now, in order to get at least some functionality, I need to install KDE 3.3.2. I've been trying to compile it, but after I write ./configure it tells me my computer is missing a file called kde-configure . I try to install an RPM I've found somewhere and it says I need the kdelibs . And now don't know what to do. I've also got a MandrakeMove 9.2 CD in case it could be useful.

Just make sure the answer is clear enuff, because I'm just a linux newbie!

Thanks in advance!
 
Funny, you must have added this topic while I was typing up mine. Anyway, I personally am in the process of doing much the same thing but on a Fedora Core 3 minimal installation. If you are interested. all you need is Fedora Core 3 disc 1 and when you get all the way to the end, you choose to cusomize your packages and go all the way to the bottom and check "minimal - perfect for a firewall or router...." or something like that.

I mention this to you because Fedora Core has a tool that gets you past the step you are on. It's called yum. You just type "yum install kde-base" or whatever package you want and it grabs the libraries and other packages that it is dependant on automatically. However I'm still stuck after that. If you are interested, here is my thread.
 
OK, I've tried Konstruct... and guess what? it throws me this error:

[da_nuke@localhost kde]$ make install

What's going on!?
