Well, I did all that and 2.5 hours later I got this compilation failure (see
attached).
The web site says "Gideon" is "unstable" and the latest stable version is
KDevelop
2.1.5 (which I have) and that it works with KDE 3.1.

I would think that the idea of packages like KDevelop is that application
developers can work in a stable environment without having to worry too
much about things moving around down in the "system" area (like operating
systems, compilers, desktops and libraries), but I find I am spending more
time on system and configuration concerns than on my application, which
makes me unhappy.  If KDevelop3 is not really ready for use, please don't
recommend it ...

and please don't enthuse about it until it IS ready ...  I'd even prefer you
to
use the old standby of commercial software suppliers: "Your problem will
be corrected in the next release".

Sorry to be a bit snarly, but I had lost hours on the two problems I
reported
and, as I said, I do have a workaround for the "add directory" problem.
I guess I'm just not one of those people who likes to work at the "bleeding
edge" of KDE.

No hard feelings,
All the best, Ian W.
