configure.py doesn't agree about the KDE version you're running (see below)

This says you're running KDE 3.1.4.  configure.py gets this info by 
reading /opt/kde3/include/kdeversion.h (that's the path for a standard SuSE 
installation). KDE 3.1.4 is the version SuSE 9.0 shipped with, so you did a 
KDE upgrade, right?. SuSE's version of KDE 3.1.4 is incorrect (or 
"non-standard" if you prefer) with respect to KFileShare::setShared - it adds 
an extra 'bool' arg to the arg list, as g++ is indicating in the error 
message. KDE 3.2.1 for SuSE doesn't have this problem.

If you have a *full* KDE 3.2.1 install, kdeversion.h should look like:

#define KDE_VERSION_STRING "3.2.1"
#define KDE_VERSION_MAJOR 3
#define KDE_VERSION_MINOR 2
#define KDE_VERSION_RELEASE 1

The solution is to upgrade your installation to a complete KDE 3.2.1 - install 
kdelibs3-devel-3.2.1*.rpm (the * is something like '-2' or whatever - makes 
no difference) which provides the KDE h files. Any other fix leaves your 
system (and possibly PyKDE) in an inconsistent state.
