I suspect it is a dll clash. For some reason the latest available dlls don't appear to be backwards compatible with the older versions.
It is the reason that I am very reluctant to use rpm/yum to 'update' my working system. If push comes to shove I will download the rpm files, unpack them, move the new dlls to a dll directory on the path and libpath then see what is broken - if everything keeps on working they get moved to their final resting place, if something is broken those dlls are removed, computer restarted and I am back to square one.
