Hi Dave, I experienced a very similar error on Linux Mint, and it was not related to the ~/.blender folder. When the versioning changed from 2.54 to 2.55, cmake was not properly updating the scripts folders. Specifically, the folder /blender/2.54 should now be /blender/2.55, since Blender is now looking for the UI scripts in the 2.55 folder. I deleted the /blender/2.54 folder, but cmake did not replace it. In the end, I had to delete the entire build and build from scratch and this solved the problem.
Are you building fresh or building on top of a previous 2.54 build? If you are building on a previous build, I think this could be what is causing the problem.
