Yep, fair enough.
The first question I would ask is - do you have kde installed? and if so which 
version?

The second question is - is there no compatible packaged version for kastrolog 
available? If it's not going to be a straightforward ./configure, make, make 
install I would avoid compiling from source. Unless you enjoy the challenge 
that is.

also - What version of kastrolog are you attempting to install?

Personally I find it easier to wade through the various messages as they come 
(i.e. verbatim) even if that is rather verbose - rather than read a 
paraphrase. Please do cut & paste relevant error massages directly into your 
emails.
