That's missing llvm-config as far as I can see. Do you even have a libclang.so 
that provides the Clang C API? What about the headers - are they available?

I wouldn't waste time on using it. You are beating a dead horse here. kdev-
clang improved greatly over the last few months.

Do you mean "master" with "main branch"? There where plenty of improvements in 
that regard. Pure indexing of a project is, in my tests, considerably faster 
now that we are smarter at handling headers and translation units. Whats still 
a bit slow is code completion, but mostly because we didn't spent a good 
amount of time investigating the performance there yet.
