I'm sure that everyone has heard about autopackage.  If not go here: 
http://www.autopackage.org   
Autopackage has the potential to revolutionize software installation for 
linux.  It offers distro-neutral packages that can install on any linux 
system.  Depending on how autopackage is configured, users can install 
software packages in their home directories without root password.  

Here's the problem, since different distros use different versions of gcc, 
some binaries (mainly kdelibs) are not compatible with other binaries 
compiled with a different version of gcc.  This is actually not a problem 
with GNOME.  However KDELIBS are a major issue.  The founder and maintainer 
of autopackage has come up with a solution, but he needs KDE devs to help 
him.  For all KDE devs that are interested you can start by going to 
autopackage.org to learn more about the incredible packaging system.  Then 
browse the forums for any questions:
http://autopackage.org/forums/
If you would like to subscribe to the mailing list go here:

If KDE devs do not help, KDE compatibility may be pushed back from the next 
release of autopackage.  Everyone here knows that we need a better solution 
to software installation in KDE and autopackage offers it.  Please help!
