Heya,

Please verify:
- Does $HOME/KDE/install/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins contain kdev-embedded 
related .so files?
  There should be kdevplatform/26/kdevembedded.so

XDG_DATA_DIRS should point to that directory.

Just to make to sure: You also need to start kdevelop from within that 
environment -- launching it from e.g. the KDE start menu won't work.

Hope that helps,
