I'm not familiar with where Mandrake puts config files if not in 
your home directory - if you're using konqueror, there's an 
option for making dot files visible (View | Show Hidden Files), 
but if they're really not there, I don't have a suggestion.  
Does someone else on the list know?

At any rate, you only need to do the "export" above from the 
command line in the sessions where you're running 'configure.py' 
for sip or PyQt (PyKDE doesn't require KDEDIR to be set, but 
will use it if it is). Make or the run-time stuff doesn't care 
about QTDIR being set.
