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

[derek_mason at smtpgw.liebert.com]

     Been here :(
     
     Still giving me problems too :((
     
     In my SuSe 6.1 installation KDevekop _sometimes_ gets the correct path 
     to the kde docs and sometimes it doesn't. Seems quite arbitrary too.  
     It _always_ gets the Qt and C/C++ docs OK
     
     When it fails to get the kde docs the errors are as you describe.
     
     regards,
     dm v2.5

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.

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.
