Konstruct fails very early

[David Collyer]

I'm am new to Linux and am trying to install 3.2 rc1 using Konstruct. 
Konstruct successfully downloaded and extracted kdebase and began
building kdelibs as a dependency.  It downloads and extracts kdelibs
successfully, but then fails very early with the error:

 ==> Extracting download/kdelibs-3.1.95.tar.bz2
        [extract] complete for kdelibs.
 ==> Applying patch download/do-not-fail-fast-malloc.diff
/bin/sh: line 1: patch: command not found
make[2]: *** [normal-patch-do-not-fail-fast-malloc.diff] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/konstruct/konstruct/kde/kdelibs'
make[1]: *** [dep-../../kde/kdelibs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/konstruct/konstruct/kde/kdebase'
make: *** [dep-../../kde/kdebase] Error 2
work:/tmp/konstruct/konstruct/meta/everything #

Can someone help me figure out what is wrong?
