1. First start KDevelop. -> New project->c++->hello world. I left all default entries for user name etc... Click NEXT and everything fails with a error. Error was that <author>Charlie ->> & <<-  </author> ampersand broke everything.
2. Repeated evrything from beginning and from menu selected run, then clicked "Run autmake configure and riends..." and then nothing was happening. I was waiting for messages in the "Messages" window, but no luck. Then it took me some time to figure out that I had to switch from "Very short compiler output" to be able to see error messages, which were :
*cd "/usr/local/testcpp" && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs && cd "/usr/local/testcpp/debug" && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3" "/usr/local/testcpp/configure" --enable-debug=full && cd "/usr/local/testcpp/debug" && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -k  
*aclocal 
*gmake: aclocal: Command not found 
*gmake: *** [all] Error 127 


This was the default hello world - I couldn't make it run. Sorry for this *stupid* report, but this simple stuff just should work without problems...
