User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Iceweasel/2.0.0.7 (Debian-2.0.0.7-2)
Build Identifier: T.B. version 2.0.0.6 (20071009) / lightning-0.5-tb-linux

No default calendar displayed and when I attempt to make new calendar it allows me to enter Name/Color, but selecting <NEXT> does nothing.  Also occurs with Lightning 0.7 from nightly builds.

Reproducible: Always

We've seen this issue happen in the past, when different compiler
configurations were used to build Thunderbird on the one hand and Lightning on
the other hand.

Do you use a Thunderbird build provided by mozilla.org or the Debian version, called IceDove. If the latter, then you will have to wait until a Debian package for Lightning arrives.
Ubuntu users reported that it worked after installing the libstdc++5 package. 
You might check if your Debian systems needs additional packages installed too to fulfill the system requirements <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/system-requirements.html>.
- Am using Icedove and have the libstdc++5 package installed.  
- Is there a way to completely remove Lightning including any saved profile information.  Would like to try a "fresh" install.  Since I've tried a couple of builds and recently upgraded from Icedove/TB 1.5 to 2.0 I think there is a chance that I have a corrupted profile?
jean-cristophe build for icedove works!  It even found a couple of the calendars that I had built but assumed that I had lost.  Think it may be a case of where Debian/Icedove puts files as compared to native TB install?

jean-cristophe build for lightning worked, is there a similar build for google provider?  Or how would I compile locally so that I could sync both ways with google.  I was successful on downloading from google, just cannot upload locally (Lightning) inputted data.
I would expect that the Google provider from addons.mozilla.org works also in Icedove. Did you try that?
Yes, I have tried it with the official build.  I am able to download calendar data from google calendars, but it does not permit me to upload (404 error).  

Again I am using Icedove; would probably switch to Thunderbird actual if I could find an accurate how-to.

Download Thunderbird for Linux [1], extract it into a folder of your choice and run the script "thunderbird" from that folder.
