I'm not very familiar with Knoppix, but I doubt it comes with the development 
packages needed to compile KBabel. If you have a network connection, try to 
run 'apt-get kdesdk', which will download and install kbabel for you (some 
later knoppix cd's should support it). 

If you have the bandwith (300mb), and you just want to test kbabel, it might 
be an option to download something like Klax 
[http://ktown.kde.org/~binner/klax/] which has a complete KDE 3.4.2 
environment - including KBabel, on a CD.

Also take note that when you test xliff files in KDE 3.x they need to have 
an .xliff extension and not .xlf. 

Finally, a screenshot of a development branch of KBabel, with some XLIFF 
features, such as hierarchical groups and inline codes, showing off:
