For that simple answer, a couple of details are missing in your message. But 
we will get there.

Where did you get KMyMoney from? How did you install it?

Looking into my crystal ball, I think you installed the source code. Are there 
many files ending in ".cpp" and ".h"? Then that's what happened. Source code 
cannot be executed right away. It needs to be brought into a machine 
executable format which is usually done using other programs (called compilers 
and linkers). Not something you want to do as usual user. Now a few more 
questions:

a) which operating system are you using?
b) Is it a *NIX (e.g. Linux) style OS or Microsoft Windows or even Mac OSX?

In either case, there are installable packages containing that machine 
executable stuff out there which get you where you want to be (running 
KMyMoney). Once we know a little more about your environment, we can give you 
more detailed directions.

Hope that gets things started.
