I could, but with Mandrake I can easily get all RPMs and their requirements 
automatically using urpmi so I don't like to compile unless I really have to.
Luckily I found the RPMS for kdebindings from Texstar of PCLinuxOnline :)

Cool! I knew about the Apple's contribution but even though it was kind of 
obvious they would merge it in KDE I needed someone to confirm it.

Unfortunately as far as compatibility is concerned nothing can beat IE. 
Fortunately (from my experience) this lack of compatibly is mostly with 
effects and not so important stuff.

And BTW since you mentioned IE, I noticed we have IE 4 on university's Sun OS 
systems. But when I searched for "IE for Linux/Unix" I was redirected to all 
sort of anti-unix pages from Microsoft! Wish I could still access IE in Linux 
untill others specially KHTML improve!
