Bug#32519: Kdevelop unable to generate new Project

[michael at neutronstar.dyndns.org]

Package: kdevelop
Version: 2.0 (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.2.14
OS/Compiler notes: 

When I attempted to generate a plain c++ console project, kdevelop, spat out
this upon clicking create:"
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
can not open file "entries.82A4B88" in your local app-data-dir:
  No such file or directory at /usr/opt/kde2/share/apps/kdevelop/tools/processes.pl line 24.
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
can not open file "entries.82A4B88" in your local app-data-dir:
  No such file or directory at /usr/opt/kde2/share/apps/kdevelop/tools/processesend.pl line 12.
"
turned out that the scripts search for the entry file in ~/.kde/share/apps/kdevelop/, while kdevelop being a 2.2 app puts the entry file into ~/.kde2/share/apps/kdevelop/
and that effectivly stops project generation!

It might be a SuSE modification, that kde2.2 is defaulting to using ~/.kde2 instead of the other directory.

ps: if I set KDEHOME=~/.kde2 all runs like a charm

I think the scripts should use the same system as kdevelop to determin where these files should go.

Im using: KDE2.2 SuSE-RPM from the ftp.kde.org, binary install, On an upgraded suse6.4 system
