In addition to the suggestions above, do this as a start:

sudo apt-get install build-essentials

(This will install a basic compilation environment in Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get build-dep kpilot

(This will install all that is needed to compile kpilot as far as apt
knows. At the least this will get you most of the way)


---

Followed directions, got all the necessary files,


These are the install instructions that came with the package:
KPilot uses the CMake build system which is the native build system
for KDE4; for KDE3 applications like KPilot, CMake is also useable.
You need CMake installed on your system to compile KPilot, but CMake
is becoming more widespread now. You can get it from www.cmake.org .


To compile KPilot, just run

    make -f Makefile.cmake

in the KPilot source directory (that is the one containing this
INSTALL file). This will run CMake to generate the real Makefiles,
then run make again to build the project in a build-* subdirectory.
Once it is done, you can run

    make -f Makefile.cmake install

to install KPilot in the KDE directory.


Unfortunattely, I still cant install it. This is the input after running the
first command.

make -f Makefile.cmake
test -d "build-Linux2_6_17_10_386" || mkdir -p "build-Linux2_6_17_10_386"
test -d "build-Linux2_6_17_10_386"

I have no idea what those errors mean. But Kpilot does not appear in the
menu, (I uninstalled the old version), and does not run from terminal so I
assume it did not install.
