Hi Tom,

As it turned out, even 9999 from PPA started OK after I had built 10019 from sources and used it. Then I removed ~/.upp/theide directory altogether and tried to restart: I was back to the original crash situation.

Now I just installed 10031 from PPA and removed ~/.upp/theide directory again and tried to start over -- still crashing. Then I restored my ~/.upp/theide from a backup and 10031 works with that too.

So, my conclusion is that when doing 'make install' from sources does something useful that does not get done when installing from PPA.

This is a great hint. I think I've already seen this before, but can't remember what exactly was the problem. Anyway, it should be easy to debug.

Additionally, it would be nice to have the SVN source option pointing to a working SVN mirror instead of Google code with old sources.

Good idea, but unfortunately, the github mirror doesn't have any information about U++ version. The version is taken directly from the master repository revision, but github revisions are different (even when accessed via its subversion API). The only think I can do is to point it to the main repository. Hopefully, it will not generate too much traffic...
