I am using KDevelop 5.5.0.
And I cannot debug a C project, it complains that I need GDB 7.0.0 or higher but I already have version 9.2 installed. I was able to debug the executable directly using GDB from the command-line, but this is time-consuming and I want to be able to debug inside KDevelop. There's also another message I think left-over from integrating with UE4: "You are using: Registered pretty printers for UE4 classes"

How do I fix this? where would I begin to look for more clues?

Please update to KDevelop 5.5.1, this is fixed there. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428688
At least it seems very likely this is the bug you are experiencing.
Sorry for the trouble!

Great! I'm definitely going to give that a go. Overall I think the tidy yet comprehensive Qt-based UX of Kdevelop is it's strength, I prefer this over CodeBlocks, CodeLite or any Electron-based editor.

Question, is it best to just use the AppImage? I prefer to rely on Apt package management when possible, but understand that the dependencies and repository maintenance just isn't always there.

I would prefer to use the distro's package manager as well, but only if it ships a reasonably recent version of the software you are using.

I'm still seeing this in v5.6.1 (AppImage) with GDB v9.2, I also compiled GDB v10.2 and tried with that but I still get this error message.
