I was able to solve my problem with KDevelop. After installing "automake" and "libtool" everything worked out fine.

You seem to have experienced a bug where the alternatives have entered manual mode, with no link remaining.

Something about your system is broken, you are the only person in the universe having this problem. To help you, I need you to help me understand what is broken about your system. This means I need you to accept that there is something uniquely wrong with your installation, and rather than telling me how you think things behave, you need to simply tell me what you see when I suggest commands to run.

Something is broken on your system. The /etc/alternatives directory is not expected to be in the $PATH, update-alternatives takes care of symlinking in /usr/bin.

Actually, this bug is probably in automake, which should be responsible for making its own symlinks.
