That's the trouble with all pre-built executables, they have to assume some common hardware that maybe is not a match to yours. But your test methos was not so good. Who knows eht that KDE shortcut does? You should run the new executable yu made from the terminal and see if it print some errors. Could be as simple as not finding a library or some other file. If it is crashing then use the debugger and try a backtrace.
