Try  http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/
   instead.  You probably want
http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/centos/6/x86_64/


I have been using this on a 32-bit laptop with SL6x for perhaps 2 years, 
but I don't have it actually running at the moment;  I'm sending this 
from an SL7 box.

The libwebp.so.4 problem is newish - libwebp.so.5 seems to be what is 
available now, and I recall a problem with the kde-runtime package, but 
what I have works.
