-n /opt/kde/lib64

Same thing for 64 bit SuSE - not sure about other distributions.

Eventually configure.py will be able to figure this out..

If the command line is too long, the -z (-z <filename>) option should let you 
put all of the switches in a file, one per line (haven't tested it in a long 
time though).
