So you should probably check out your system for these programs.

Please note that in order to use KDevelop language support for ada, pascal, java, etc. you will need a corresponding language compiler. KDevelop does not limit which compiler you should use but offers compiler options dialogs for some of them. Currently available compiler plugins are gcc, g++, f77, pghpf (Portland Group High Performance Fortran Compiler), pgf77 (Portland Group Fortran 77 Compiler), dcc (Borland Delphi Compiler) and fpc (Free Pascal Compiler).
