First: You start kde by typing: startx Not starkde !
Add the following lines to your .xinitrc file for the user who shall use
it or to you /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to make it global:
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin
exec startkde
That should do it:
good luck
