Kdevelop4 wont debug

Hey guys/girls,

I've recently installed Arch as my sole workstation OS. I mainly do C/++ development, and after trying out a few ide's I decided to stick with kdevelop4(built from it's svn) as it seems to be the most viable choice for my projects(Cmake based). So far everything has been working fine, with the exception of the debugger. When I try to run my app in kdev4, I get this

Could not run '/usr/bin/gdb '. Make sure that the path name is specified correctly.

Followed by

GDB cannot use the tty* or pty* devices.
Check the settings on /dev/tty* and /dev/pty*
As root you may need to "chmod ug+rw" tty* and pty* devices and/or add the user to the tty group using "usermod -G tty username".

I have tried chmodding the tty devices as root, to no avail. Perhaps I am specifying the gdb path incorrectly, however when I run /usr/bin/gdb, gdb 6.8 starts fine.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

ebx

Re: Kdevelop4 wont debug

Try unchecking the 'Enable separate terminal for application IO' in the debug section under your project in Run->Configure Launches...
