You have to be a bit more explicit about the _EXACT_ steps you took.

I'm not sure I can safely guess the steps you took by reading the
above description, and there are a few dozen things you could
have done wrong.

Yes.  You don't really need "KDE" though for this.

The Handbook and the `/usr/src/UPDATING' file contain a detailed
description of the steps you have to take to upgrade a system
from the sources.  Be sure to check these instructions before you
start doing anything else.
