I think it's worth spending the extra five minutes and creating a .deb
package from what you were trying to install. That's what I do with every
other KDE program I like - and most of the time the developers are happy
when I tell them. ;)
If the package uses autoconf (./configure), it's just a matter of
deb-make
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
(-uc -us only if you don't want to GPG-sign your .deb file).
