svn co https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/koffice

See http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/subversion/ for 
details of using subversion with KDE.

KPlato has not yet been released to public, this intended for the next 
major KOffice release. Thus you also won't find any tarball. Please 
use the subversion repository pointed to above. (see also below)

Yes, it's not released with the public releases, but it IS present in 
the repository.

Well, that might be a difficult issue. My suggestion is to checkout 
the whole koffice source tree (see above). If you do not want to 
compile ALL of KOffice, but only KPlato, you should do the following:

make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure --prefix=/wherever/you/want/your/development/versions
cd ./lib
make
make install
cd ..
cd ./kdgantt
make
make install
cd ..
cd kplato
make
make install
cd ..


Now you should have the kplato binary in the given prefix (+ /bin). 
Please note that you should have the specified prefix in KDEDIRS 
before launching KDE. Like this:
export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3:/wherever/you/want/your/development/versions

I think it should also be fine if you just export this in a shell from 
which you want to run kplato (just before calling kplato).

Note that I'm not exactly sure if /lib, /kdgantt and /kplato is all 
you need or if you need other (small) components (you will see). I 
usually build all of koffice.

Hope it helps a bit. If you still can't get along, let me/us know.
