What distro are you using?

In order to install a library in such a way that you can use it in new 
programs, you have to install both it and its development header files. 
There are generally two ways to do this:

* The easy way - install the development header package for your library 
of choice through your distro's package manager.
* The hard, dangerous way that you probably don't want yet - build the 
library from source and then either install it directly or figure out 
how to point your build system to it.

Obviously I'd recommend the former if you're just getting started. On 
Ubuntu, the package you want is called "libkf5archive-dev", and can be 
installed with "sudo apt install libkf5archive-dev". This will probably 
work on Debian too. If you're on some other distro, you'll need to find 
and install the right package.
