I don't know if this is exactly a bug or even a KDevelop bug I asked about this several times not getting any answer. So sorry if this is not the way to report this.
I'm using KDevelop 2.0.1 on KDE 2.2.1 I've just generated a mini KDE applicationg and I run make messages and merge getting the following erro I cannot get rid off:
cd . && automake --foreign ./Makefile
cd . && perl admin/am_edit Makefile.in
cd . \
  && CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= /bin/sh ./config.status
fast creating Makefile
gmake -f admin/Makefile.common package-messages
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/pupeno/src/preba'
./preba
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/pupeno/src/preba/preba'

I'm running on Mandrake 8.0 with KDE installed from RPMS

I had the same problem with KDev 2.0.2/KDE 2.2.2.
I solved it by simply doing an DistClean - Autoconf/automake and then 
adding a new translation (which has been the first translation in this 
package). Can't tell exactly which of this steps has done it...

Hope this helps.
