Dear Andreas:

The decision has been made to keep this computer in sync with the 
distribution, which is fedora core 6 and the latest set of all packages 
is installed, including KDevelop.

Perhaps you could help me understand what goes on in parsing a project, 
that is, does the parser start with the Makefile and follow it through 
to sub-make files? What are the other considerations in KDevelop parsing 
a project and where can it go awry?
