This may be a possible solution, as something similar happened to me.  I'm
guessing you have RedHat? if so you need to uninstall the kdeveloper then
create a symlink under the /opt directory,  if this does not exist just mkdir
/opt then make the symlink ln -s /usr /opt/kde then reinstall kdeveloper and
things should work out a bit better......... although I'm having trouble with
compileing stuff but I think this is something I have done along the line
somewhere and i'm still trying to track it down. Hopefully this is your
problem, just that RedHat has stuck everything under /usr and most other
distributions have put kde under /opt/kde ......... I can't wait till there is
something done about standardising the directory tree.
