Thanks for reply foolofil. It turns out I didn't have g++, so I installed g++ package and tried again.

So if I'm right in guessing that the next step would be to install kde4, I have to stop and ask if that's really necessary. I realize that the k in ktorrent is for kde. I'm running ubuntu 8.10 and in my package manager, I have an option to click and install ktorrent 3.1.2. It takes up 1 meg and I'm done. I've used ktorrent 3.1.2 and it's great, everything works. However, a specific tracker I use only allows latest stable version which is 3.1.5, hence all the trouble. Trying to install kde4 with all the dependencies requires around 650 megs.

Well, you are gona need the lastest kdelibs one way or another if you are going to compile KTorrent.

moreover, check that you fetch the kdelibs-devel or -dev package (I don't run ubuntu so I can't tel). That will ensure that the headers you need to get it to build are fetched with the binaries.
You shouldn't need to fetch all of kde btw !
Good luck

I've installed kdelibs and kdelibs-dev, which is roughly 170 with dependencies. I still get the same error. I guess I'll try installing kde next.
