Blender game engine on Ubuntu

I’m learning how to work with Blender’s game engine. Unfortunately, as soon as I press ‘p’ to start the engine, Blender crashes with a segmentation fault. Fortunately, I’ve found a way to fix this on Ubuntu Linux.

• Install the dynamically linked version of Blender from the Blender website.
• As root, type “apt-get build-dep blender”
• Run Blender.
