Defnitiv answer: you do not NEED a GUI, but you'll see that many things are more comfortable with a windowmanager, especially if you're new to linux and are familiar with windows.
Reasons why your KDE didn't worked:
- the X server wasn't properly installed
- the wrong X server was installed
- the X server wasn't configured properly
- the configuration was stored to a bogus location and the X server is calling a default .config
- missing lib's (check dependancies)
and I guess the list could become even longer..

a errorlog or description would help and some information on the distribution you use.
