If the file you have is really called kgdb then you need to download kdbg which 
is the new name (the old one was already being used).

The problem is binary compatability. Either you statically link things or you 
need to be very careful and these widgets are often not finished enough to have 
their interfaces frozen. The best thing to do is include the widget with the 
source for your app (and then remove it if/when the widget is moved into kdeui 
(after KDE 1.0)).
