### Considerations When Building

It is reasonable that you would want to customize the location of the &quantaplus; files on your system. To this end, `autoconf` has a number of options that can be passed to the `configure` script to control this setup. To get a complete listing of these options, type `./configure` `--help`. These are straight forward and will not be covered here.

If you are having trouble with &quantaplus; running properly, you should check your path to ensure that the &kde; 3 `bin` folder is in there. Also, be sure that you do not have any older versions of &kde; laying about that appear in `PATH` before your &kde; 3 `bin` folder. The same holds true for &Qt;.
