I just installed the update to blender and when I launch it, either from command line or from KDE, my desktop folds up like a house of cards, back to graphical login. ld claimed to not recognize the file structure, but, upon examination it is a shell script to initially setup the ~/.blender files. I see nothing in it to start an executable, once done. blender-bin also blows up from command line and blenderplayer comes up with a pile of command line options. Has anyone else seen this problem??
