Usually, to install software from source you have to run ./configure and make before you can do make install. Try doing that after you cd into the directory.

However, these kinds of problems are the reason package managers were made. What's wrong with installing the kmago rpm?

#rpm -ivh kmago-1.1.2-0.i386.rpm

Just be sure you have the required dependencies installed.
