No, simpler than that:

In KDevelop: About -> Loaded Plugins. Make sure there's "C++ Support (Clang-
based)" in there.

Just to not confuse rhkramer: For KDevelop's code model only the installed 
libclang version is relevant. 

How your code is actually compiled is a different thing and has nothing to do 
with how KDevelop annotates the source code in its editor views.
