Yes.  I can't recall all the details, but I found trying to run two versions 
of KDevelop under the same user ID to be a bad idea.  There are also 
potential problems with your build's libs conflicting with the KDevelop libs 
in your KDE install.  I didn't try to untangle that mess.  I just gave up and 
started building KDevelop and installing into the system's KDE installation.  
You can ask the veteran KDevelopers how much I whined about having to do that 
before I finally acquiesced.
