KDevelop debugging warning: Failed to set controlling terminal: Operation not permitted

Question

A while ago I changed my personal operating system to linux and my development enviroment to KDevelop.

However debugging c++ projects is still not working as it should. My KDevelop version is 4.2.2 (I installed it through package management)

Every time I hit the "debug button" the application is starting with the console message warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Operation not permitted and debugging functionality is not available.

Any ideas welcome.
