o install KBFX you need to do following things:
  
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
make
make install (AS ROOT)

 
 Workaround for Suse and Gentoo: since these distros do not install KDE in /usr ld linker does not pick up libkio . 
 Download automake 1.6 and install
 Run kde-config --prefix and find out where your KDE prefix is
 Given your KDE prefix is /opt/kde3/
 Open kbfxconfigapp/Makefile.am 
 Replace $(LIB_KIO) with -L/opt/kde3/lib/ -lkio
 Compile as normal
