The "common" subdirectory references was caused by me fiddling around.

The errors should read:

/dev/shm/tdesdk/kbabel/kbabel/kbabelview.cpp:40:38: error: kbprojectsettings.h: No such file or directory
/dev/shm/tdesdk/kbabel/kbabel/kbabelview.cpp:106:21: error: version.h: No such file or directory
