Greetings,

I am new to this list.

I have tried to install webkit on a box with the following characteristics:  
CPU:AMD64 O-S(Linux (CLFS) Kernel 2.6.27.7 GCC 4.3.2.  I downloaded   WebKit  
and WebKit-r41844 (nightly build).  For the latter I 
used   "/WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit"  as instructed and at the end I 
obtained fhe following
===========================================================
 WebKit is now built. To run QtLauncher with this newly-built
 code, use the "WebKitTools/Scripts/run-launcher" script.

 NOTE: WebKit has been built with SVG support enabled.
 QtLauncher will have SVG viewing capabilities.
 Your build supports the following (optional) SVG features: 
  * Basic SVG animation.
  * SVG foreign object.
  * SVG fonts.
  * SVG as image.
  * SVG <use> support.

###### However  I then try to compile kdenetwork-4.2.1  and I get the 
following

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- Consider installing them to enable more features from this software.
+ Decibel: KDE framework for real-time communication <http://decibel.kde.org/>
Used by the Kopete telepathy protocol.
+ WebKitKde: Webkitkde libraries and header files <>
Webkitkde is necessary to compile support for WebKitKde.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The webkit  build above not report where  binaries, libraries  etc are 
installed  (indeed if they are installed).

I then decided to try another route  using gnu make.  However all attempts to 
run sh.autogen.sh' (from both downloads of webkit)  results with the 
following:-

checking the target windowing system... x11
checking for Hildon UI extensions... no
./configure: line 18971: syntax error near unexpected token `HILDON,'
./configure: line 18971: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(HILDON, hildon-1)'


help: would be  appreciared for:- 

a) where if   the first method has built webkit  and where it is installed  
and/or
b) a fix for the HILDON problem   when   the autogern.sh script is run.

sincerely
sibu
