<p>This fixed the problem.  I did have to "apt-get install intltool" before I could successfully build geany but that was simple.  No more crashing when going to the File menu and I've also re-enabled "Snippet completion" and "Autocomplete symbols" without any problems.</p>
<p>Here is a snip from my new geany's "Help-> Debug Messages":<br>
09:14:02: Geany INFO            : Geany 1.31, en_US.UTF-8<br>

09:14:02: Geany INFO            : System data dir: /home/rwp/geany_russ/share/geany</p>
<p>After I quit geany I see some Gtk-WARNING messages in the shell window from where I started geany.  I've attached them to this post.  They seem benign.</p>
