Movie encoder from .ppm frames

[D.P.]

Whats the easiest way to create a move from a directory of still frames that are in .ppm format?
I know I can convert the file format in batch if need be.

I know of mencoder but the last time I tried this I spent hours and hours and got nowhere.

maybe:
I'm trying to install: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmencoder/

sudo dpkg --install kmencoder_0.1.2-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package kmencoder.

Unpacking kmencoder (from kmencoder_0.1.2-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kmencoder:
 kmencoder depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.0.6); however:
  Package kdelibs4 is not installed.
 kmencoder depends on xlibs (>> 4.1.0); however:

dpkg: error processing kmencoder (--install):

I installed and upgraded what I could through adept. Is this problem due to me having an old version of KDE?
