No, you just need to install the debug symbols.  In the distribution
rpms all debug symbols are stripped out and placed in separate rpms
named -debuginfo since they are wasted space for the majority of users.

# yum install kdevelop-debuginfo

To get reasonable info out of it you may need other symbols as well,
most (all?) of the libraries are stripped as well.
