I know this error, I have encountered it if I installed only kde libs, and
not kdebase (or something like that). It means that the KDE libraries are
installed, but not all run-time dependencies of ktechlab.
Typically I work around this situation by installing kate, which pulls with
it all of the needed parts of KDE. If should be possible to install
specifically the needed dependencies, just I have not bothered testing
exactly which packets should be installed.
