Sounds like you are likely hitting library path issues on Linux. It can
take a while to work these all out once they crop up because it usually
involves extra entries in either /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and if
the builds are not done with everything already cleaned up, the problem can
just perpetuate. Anyway, if using the default paths works for you, that's
great.

You may need to clear the browser cache and refresh the UI to see this show
up after building/installing from that particular git branch.
