Hi. I can't compile ktimer because of an absent libutil.la . It seems that it should be using libutil.a (which is present) instead of libutil.a Output: Good - your configure finished.

Nothing to do with KDE. Somethinhg else in your system is referencing that file. Try grepping for libutil.la in /usr/lib and seeing what is depending on it.
