First it crashed on saving clothes, now won't start w/ synatx error

[sabresong]

Hi.

I'm new to SL, just downloaded it this morning. I've tried the SL default viewer, Catznip and Firestorm, same issues with all 3 ... I'm running SL on Kubuntu 12.10 32 bit, with Radeon HD 6100 graphics card.

When I got SL to load, it would crash every time I tried to save a wardrobe change. I run it from the command line, and there's no error message that I can use, only that a report has been sent to server 1, and the command line just hangs there until I kill it.

Then SL stopped loading altogether, giving me a syntax error ---> Syntax error: "(" unexpected
I'm not an expert coder, but I tried making minor changes to the line in question (125 in SL default and Catznip viewers, 146 in Firestorm), all with the same result, so I changed it all back and tried again.

My wife uses an identical computer, except she's using 64 bit, and has not had any of these problems.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I noticed in LL bug tracker that the syntax error claims to have been fixed, but it's happening for me.
