Hi Milan,
something's wrong with your setup. If the packages you installed came directly from distro / packagers (I actually don't know slackware), then you should contact them.

Basicly, kdevelop doesn't find it's plugins. This is almost always due to KDEDIR / KDEDIRS not setup correctly and/or a missing call of kbuildsycocoa. Try to find out, where the environment variables KDEDIR and KDEDIRS point to. Set them correctly in a console, run the kbuildsyscoca program, then kdevelop (both from the console).

Finding the correct path to set KDEDIR to or include in KDEDIRS: It's the one that contains a subtree "lib/kde3" where a file named "libkdevcppsupport.so" should be. If that directory is your kde-installation directory, then KDEDIR has to point there. Otherwise, this path has to be included in KDEDIRS. KDEDIRS is an environmentvariable that looks the same as the PATH environment variable.

I have already sent an email to him. (packages were downloaded from 
ftp.kde.org, yes I know your policy about binary packages...)

KDEDIR and KDEDIRS are set correctly (/opt/kde), I rebuilt database: 
kbuildsycoca --noincremental.

Still doesn't work :-(

Thanks for fast reply...

Milan

BTW: Kdevelop shows no message in the console window....

This is on the FAQ:
http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/index.php/FAQ#I_get_an_error_message_.22couldn.27t_create_a_language_plugin.22._What_is_wrong.3F

Besides that, AFAIK there is already a BR asking for a better error message.

I read this FAQ, but it don't help.

I tried to compile kdevelop from sources, configure passed allright, but 
compilation failed on:

This shows that I need BDB Version 4, what is it? The configure script should 
report that I have not this, shouldn't it?

Milan

Well,

I still don't know what's DBD, but if it is this, I have it installed (even 
with includes and libs).

I recompiled kdevelop and it is working....

This is packager error, I'm sorry...

So i finally doubt anybody has anything against closing this one as invalid.
