After emerging kdevelop (emerge -u kdevelop), any time I try to run kdevelop I get a window with the following error message: Unable to find plugins, KDevelop won't work properly! Please make sure that KDevelop is installed in your KDE directory, otherwise you have to add KDevelop's installation path to the environment variable KDEDIRS and run kbuildsycoca. Restart KDevelop afterwards. Example for BASH users: export KDEDIRS=/path/to/kdevelop:$KDEDIRS && kbuildsycoca Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u kdevelop 2. run kdevelop executable Actual Results: The window with the error appears. I hit the OK button, and a kdevelop main window is created, that looks more like a simple/barebones editor than an IDE. Expected Results: To be able to run KDevelop Make.conf: CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" USE="X alsa ipv6 jpeg mmx mpeg sse x86 -gnome -gtk -kde -qt -apm -arts -avi -berkdb -crypt -cups -encode -foomaticdb -gdbm -gif -gpm -gtk2 -imlib -ldap -libg++ -libwww -mad -mikmod -motif -mozilla -ncurses -nls -oggvorbis -opengl -oss -pam -pdflib -perl -png -python -quicktime -readline -sdl -slang -spell -ssl -svga -tcpd -truetype -x86 -xml2 -xmms -xv -zlib" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/ http://gentoo.ccccom.com ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/" PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/grp/2004/pentium4"

run "kbuildsycoca" from the command prompt
Hi, what package provides "kbuildsycoca"? It must not be kdevelop because it's not on my system. Thanks Jesus
It's a part of kde.
I noticed that kdevelop worked fine once I rebooted the computer. There was no need to run "kbuildsycoca", which is part of KDE and I am not using KDE. Jesus
