Some suggestions:
- the progress indicator should indicate whether the client is running or stopped
- it would be nice if you could set the priority of the client
- a left click on the progress indicator should display the work unit

Look inside Makefile and delete versions from the names of commands.
Ex:
....34/admin/missing --run aclocal-1.7
to
....34/admin/missing --run aclocal

It looks like the problem is with autom4te. Please try rm -rf autom4ate.cache in the build directory.

When I start the applet only an empty space appears on the kicker and there's nothing to configure.
Suggestions?

I think what you're describing happens if, for some reason, the applet can't be loaded by the panel. Double check to see whether the file kfolding_panelapplet.so exists in your $KDEDIR/lib directory. If it is there, run ldd kfolding_panelapplet.so and check to see whether there are any lines that say 'not found'. Hope it helps.

I haven't run a Redhat system in ages, but I think the problem is you're missing some packages. Check to see whether xfree86-devel is installed. You'll also need arts-devel and kdelibs-devel at least.
