If those hashes (#) represent the prompt you're seeing, it's very likely
that you're already logged in as root. That would explain why 'su' isn't
asking you for the password.

It'd be better to run those commands as a regular user (basically, the
less you're logged in as root, the better):

$ tar -xjvf k3b-1.0.tar.bz2
$ cd k3b-1.0
$ ./configure
$ make su -c "make install"

Anyway, what happens when you enter those commands?
If there's an error, where does it happen? (Which command fails?)
What's the exact error message?
