Hi i build okular with out the pdf bakend enabled and when try to open a pdf file in it the programs bloks whith the error that there isn't a bakend for this filetype, and at this point program don't respond more.

I later recompile with the pdf bakend and pdf opens with out problems.

Removed all the files (.so and .desktop's) belnging to the poppler backend; run kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental and it worked (as in, error message and application working).

Can you try install gdb and do the following (warning, it can take some memory if you compiled with debug or debugfull option):
$ gdb --args okular any_document.pdf
(gdb) run
...
then when it's stucked, hit Ctrl+C, then
(gdb) thread apply all bt
and attach in a file the output you got from gdb. (To quit from gdb, type 'quit'.)
