Hi Andrei!

First of all: Thanks for showing interest in Kmplot and the KDE project :)
Kmplot was converted to a KParts part last year, and therefore is the "real" 
program built as a library. The command "kmplot" tries to load the lib, and 
returns an error message("Cannot load Kmplot's part") if it fails. Solution: 
Just do as Albert said :) : type "make install" to copy the lib and the icons 
to your KDE directory so that "kmplot" can found them.

If you have any questions about the program you can mail me or join the 
edutainment developers channel #kde-edu on freenode.net.
