Problems installing KDevelop from sources

["Claas H. Köhler"]

Hello everybody!

I tried to compile and install the KDevelp-4.3 trunk version on openSuse 
11.4 using g++-4.6 as lined out in the wiki.

Compilation went well and I set my KDEDIRS as follows

install/bin% echo $KDEDIRS
/users/koeh_cl/Software/kdevelop/release/install:/usr:/etc

Since KDEDIRS is not set by default on my system, I guessed the KDE 
installation directories from
install/bin% kde4-config --path config
/users/koeh_cl/.kde4/share/config/:/usr/share/kde4/config/:/etc/kde4/share/config/

The following call to kbuildsycoca4 resulted in
install/bin% kbuildsycoca4
kbuildsycoca4 running...
kbuildsycoca4(9698) parseLayoutNode: The menu spec file contains a 
Layout or DefaultLayout tag without the mandatory Merge tag inside. 
Please fix your file.

However, when starting Kdevelop I get a bunch of error messages about 
missing plugins and neither the file
manager plugin nor other plugins seem to be available.

Any help on the issue would be appreciated.

Regards
Claas
