"The KDE-Documentation-Path isn't set correctly." + assorted whinings

[Gal Aviel]

hi there naughty devels, I'd appreciate help 
becuse I've spent days on this (no more hair) :

I've successfully compiled & installed 1.0beta1 on my RH 5.2.
(at least this went well ..)

I downloaded kdelibs-1.1.tar.gz into /opt/kde/share/apps/kdevelop and
gunzipped and untarred it there, creating
/opt/kde/share/apps/kdevelop/kdelibs-1.1. 

Then I ran kdevelop --setup and all went
well (all the progies - sgml, kdoc etc. were identified). 
I pointed the install program to the above dir where 
asked for  "the new KDE libs source path".
then I choose installation mode "leave current documentation
untouched, and install to new documentation path".
Then I specified "/opt/kde/share/apps/kdevelop/KDE-Documentation/" 
as the new documentation path.

AFTER pressing ok (creating KDE Documentation ...):

in short, all that has happened was creating 2 empty directories.

after that, I mooved to the "Crearing Search Database" phase.
when I pressed ok on the deafualt settings (Index size=tiny,
index options=index KDE and Qt, no additional dirs to index) 
I get an error saying "The KDE-Documentation-Path isn't set correctly.".
HHHAAA ?

bottom line : 
(1) how can I fix it ?
(2) is this caused by the kdoc program ?
(3) why not put all the little programs KDevelop needs +
KDevelop itself in one tarball ? It took me forever to gather
all that stuff.
(4) are www.kdevelop.org and developer.kde.org always in such
a mess ?
(5) you (whoever you are) should emphesize more that you're doing today
that KDevelop needs qt-1.42 and kdelibs-1.1.x, because
the instinct is to look for the newest stuff - like qt 2.0.1
which I compiled and installed needlessly on my machine.

would appreciate any response (anybody got this far ?)
thanks allot
gal.
