Dear Kurt,

maybe you need to clean your system from files belonging to previous
qgis installations. I had similar issues with QGIS under Ubuntu. I just
*erased* everything related to qgis (from previous installations) and
did a clean installation (compilation from source) and now it runs fine.

Kind regards, Nikos
