I also examined /usr/include/kde/kdeversion.h. What I found was a bit 
disturbing:

#define KDE_VERSION 301
#define KDE_VERSION_STRING "3.0.0-10"
#define KDE_VERSION_MAJOR 3
#define KDE_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define KDE_VERSION_RELEASE 1

So, someone's bright idea is to make version "3.0.0-10" the same as "3.0.1". 
Cute.

This triggers build.py to believe that I am really running KDE 3.0.1, which I 
am not (otherwise I would have htmlURL defined, right?)

So I tinkered around, and manually removed the htmlURL part from the 
sip/kurl.sip file. However, recompiling everything, I only ran into more 
problems... this is not the way to go...

So what I did next is I changed /usr/include/kde/kdeversion.h so that it read 
thus:

#define KDE_VERSION 300
#define KDE_VERSION_STRING "3.0.0-10"
#define KDE_VERSION_MAJOR 3
#define KDE_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define KDE_VERSION_RELEASE 0

And, gratefully, everything worked.

I am appending a file that may be added to the distribution - README.RedHat7.3

I am writing a patch that will allow you to specify the kdeversion manually.  
I'll submit this after I get the first RPM up.

-------------- next part --------------
When compiling for Red Hat 7.3, the stock system, make sure you modify the file /usr/include/kde/kdeversion.h to read the following:

#define KDE_VERSION 300
#define KDE_VERSION_STRING "3.0.0-10"
#define KDE_VERSION_MAJOR 3
#define KDE_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define KDE_VERSION_RELEASE 0

I am not sure what else this will break, but PyKDE compiles fine.
