Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I can't for the life of me
find the executable for kdevelop on my system (*full* install of
-current). Have searched for kdevelop and gideon, to no avail. I have
the kdevelop3.0.0b2 package installed, and I've had a look at the
/var/log/packages logfile for kdevelop to see what was installed where,
and I *still* can't locate the executable. Obviously there is also no
menu item for it under KDE (it used to be under 'development', I
believe). What am I missing? There *is* an executable somewhere, right?
Is something missing, or have I just had too many pale ales tonight?

Look here in the tgz:
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2004-01-04 11:40:56 opt/kde/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 36904 2004-01-04 11:40:56 opt/kde/bin/r++
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 68596 2004-01-04 11:40:56 opt/kde/bin/kdevelop-htdig
so the executables seem to be r++ and kdevelop-htdig.
IF and where it will be visible in the kde desktop I don't know,
am not a kde user myself.

The command listed in the kde menu system (for me at least) iw "gideon %u"

On my system, 'which gideon' gives me /opt/kde/bin/gideon as the path to
the exec...

neither of which is kdevelop itself so it seems Pat has yet another bad
compile in kde

Yeah, that's what I'm used to using, but it doesn't exist in the current
installation. And it's not just a path problem - I searched the entire
filesystem and it doesn't exist. For a while I thought that maybe I
didn't actually have the kdevelop tgz installed, but I checked the list
of installed packages and it is definitely installed. FWIW, lastnight I
installed KDE3.2RC1 and kdevelop's there and it works fine, as expected.
Oh well. KDE3.2 looks pretty nice anyway, so I guess I'll just stick
with it.

You realise that you can remove the package by other means than removepkg
and /var/log/packages will still list the package as installed. They are
just text files left by the installer and removed by removepkg on
unistallation. Something removed that package but it wasn't removepkg????
