Sentry Crash Report:

Description David He 2003-12-03 01:37:11 UTC 
Version:           3.0b2 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk) 
OS:          Linux

The Tooltip dialog gets loaded for a second and then the whole program goes down. I ran the program fine the first few times. ThenI turned off my computer and the next time I turned in back on, KDevelop would crash on start up like this. Here's the backtrace:

[New Thread 16384 (LWP 2485)]

Thanks for looking into this.

Are you sure you have Beta 2 version?
What does it say on Help -> About ?
or kdevelop --version

Try to delete all kdev* files and directories from your ~/.kde directory
This looks like a duplicate of a similar bug also on a Mandrake system.
I guess the problem is a brokem Mandrake rpm.

Yeap looks dupe to me.

Subject: Re:  Kdevelop crashes on startup

Hi, thanks for the fast response. After checking the forum, I see that someone 
suggested the removal of project.kdevelop.pcs may help prevent the crash. 
This has worked for me, although I'm not sure what that file is or does (it 
appears to be a binary file of some sort). The version of Kdevelop I'm using 
is, in fact, 3.0.0b2. I'm sorry I mistakenly selected mandrake rpm as the 
install in the original report...I actually installed from source this 
morning. Thanks for the help.

David

Just to be complete:

Yes, kdevelop.pcs files are binary files. These files build the "persistant class storage". Databases (indeed Berkeley-DBs), which store the information that a parser produced and are used for codecompletion.

Deleting this file forces kdevelop to reparse the complete project as of the next opening.

Cheers Sascha

umm... does resolved means that i have to delete the file always manually?
