I can't start kdevelop from kde4, recent trunk.
I get this output:

This is the backtrace from gdb:

I have removed my kdevelop-configs but nothing changed.
It would be nice if i could use kdevelop again, as this is the only IDE I like ;)

rm -rf ~/.kdevduchain whenever kdevelop fails to start.
BTW: If you want something more stable use KDevelop3.5
