checking for kde-config... not found

Error message that i received when i was trying to install Umbrello error is as follow
checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin8.11.1
checking target system type... i386-apple-darwin8.11.1
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /opt/local/bin/gmkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

Solution : check whether all kde packages are installed properlly . if everything is done
and still you get this error message .
Then please go to the directory /usr/bin and check for kde-config if it their then you can
install any of your application and if in case if some higher version is their like kde4-config
then do "cp kde4-config kde-config " then try this it should work .

Thanks.

In hope solution you liked it.
