Hi.
I am experiencing this too, on kubuntu 7.04, both for 64 bit and 32 bit versions.
I have the following hardware setup on this computer:
 Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
 CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200
 Memory: OCZ DDR2 2048MB Platinum XTC Dual Ch
 GFX card: POV GeFORCE 7900 GT (Nvidia)
Currently I have some hardware issues that are not resoplved on my machine (most likely graphics card) but that should not affect this errormessage (afaik).

I used the command sudo apt-get install k3d k3dsurf aqsis

"setter opp" is norwegian for configuring, in case you didn't get it by natural linguistic talent :-)

if 3 different users observe this, I guess it is to be established as "confirmed". Correct me if I am wrong!
