Hi Amit,

First type in a shell "echo $PATH" to make sure /usr/local/qt/bin is there.
If that is OK read on...
When I click on the Kmenu/Development/Documentation Assistant 3.3.4 appears.
When I type "assistant" in a shell I get version 4.0.1
Conclusion: I belive export QTDIR or export PATH only works within shells,
I would try to launch kdevlop from a command line instead of with a click.

Hope that helps		Perry
