All of the above is horribly outdated. And, more importantly, it is probably 
not required for 99.999% of the people out there anyways. Just install 
kcachegrind via your distributions package manager. If you want to compile it 
from hand, here are the steps for the KDE4/Qt4 version:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kcachegrind
cd kcachegrind
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<something> ..
make
make install

bye, HTH
