The problem is current kdev4 requires kdelibs from trunk (it doesn't work with 
4.1.x kdelibs). As such you need to build those yourself unless you have some 
distribution with trunk kdelibs. What some people do is build kdev4 and all 
dependencies into that directory (notice that does not mean "WHOLE KDE4", it 
just means kdevplatform, kdelibs and deps of that).

My current solution is to have kde 4.1 DE installed system wide from Gentoo 
kdesvn-portage ebuilds (this automatically takes care of installing all those 
dependencies for kdelibs and such). I also have in parallel (still system 
wide) kdelibs from trunk (as there are ebuilds for that too). Then, I build 
and install only kdevplatform/kdev4 into ~/kde4 (so I can update/patch/etc 
without the hassle of messing with ebuilds).

You seem to be using OpenSUSE, I think there are already rpm's with kde 4.1 
Try to install those (and their deps) and then try just to build kdelibs, 
kdevplatform, kdevelop4 into ~/kde4 using the same deps (I didn't noticed 
kdelibs trunk requiring anything more than kdelibs 4.1 do).
