compile it yourself from the tar file, or a pulled mercurial working
copy. Its pretty standard.
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

The autogen and configure steps will tell you what dependencies you
are missing. (Also search the archive of this list, there has been
plenty of help given)

If this is too tricky for you, then you have to what for someone to
package it for kubuntu.
