Installing KDE Themes in Kubuntu

Ok, I'm a first time linux / Kubuntu user and have learned alot just reading online. The one thing which is the bane of my existance is getting themes from kde-look.org to install in Kubuntu. They all come in source code format without a file to import directly into the theme manger in the control center. So reading the various theme's instructions, they say do the classic compile method of ./configure, sudo make, and sudo make install. I've done this for like 10 themes and none of them show up in the Theme Manager under Control Center. The ./configure doesn't give any errors as I've installed a lot of various packages to make sure I can compile stuff. Any help or advice? Thanks! -Will

Edit: I've also tried using "./configure --prefix=`/path/to/this/program/kde-config --prefix`" and changing "/path/to/this" to different directories.
