Yes, has been available all the time.

Did re-compile kdegraphics4 just right now and  also Poppler seemed to get 
recognized while make. Nonetheless, I again get the "Can not find a plugin 
which is able ..." when trying to open a pdf file with Okular. Also, *.pdf is 
not amongst the "supported file types". 

I guess something in the realm of the configuration (done by the make process) 
is broken. But how can I manually fix that ?
