    You are probably using an outdated admin/ directory in your
    project.  It
    is not very well known that kdevelop includes the same
    automake files as
    all other TDE applications in each project you create;
    unfortunately these
    files, once created, are never updated by kdevelop.  I would
    try replacing
    the admin/ directory inside your project with the latest
    3.5.13.1 version
    from GIT at http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/admin/.  Do NOT
    use the
    latest GIT head version; instead use the link for the 3.5.13.1
    SRU version
    (http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/admin/snapshot/admin-3.5.13.1.tar.gz).

Thanks very much, Tim. That did the trick. Knowing very little about automake, I have no idea why it worked but I've very glad it did! - John
