Thx for the help, problem is solved. I uninstalled the Debian packages, compiled everthing a third time and it works. (Maybe some strange permissions on my hdd that something didn't get installed where it should. I didn't check the make install messages for errors the 1st two times.) The Debian packages don't seem broken, they work excellent.
I posted this solution to the forum already as an answer to the SUSE problem. Best!
