Hey all,
Recently, I found out about KInstall. It's a lovely little program from KDE 3.x's days that automatically installs tarballs.. or tries to, seems it has a problem nowadays...I'd just like to know if anyone knew who developed it, and if there are any modern alternatives...

Have you tried arK? It's a graphical tarball extractor. Not quite the same thing, I know, but you might be able to get it to do what you want and it has some nice features of its own.

I have...KInstall just took my interest because I find tarballs to be the biggest problem with new users...if anyone could find out about it's development and see if it's still going on, I'd be most grateful

You mean KInstaller, "an easy to use graphical frontend to the 'configure; make; make install' steps"?
