This is due to the broken qt library qt-3.0.4. If possible update. If
you cant update there are two possible workarounds. 
Always call autoconf/automake from the shell, i.e. call 

make -f Makefile.dist

after you have done any updates to your project. Update KDevelop from
cvs branch KDE_2_2_BRANCH. I put a fix in today but I dont believe
there will be new packages.
