Struck this problem with 32-bit Karmic Koala today. Reinstalled Gears 05.32.0 code from Google. It reloaded its cache on my machine and carried on.
Had the same issue with the 64-bit Karmic Koala only a two days ago. The reinstall did not help. Did a search and came up with Niel Speen's patch at nielspeen.com/blog/2009/02/google-gears-64-bit. With nothing to lose, I installed his version (which appears in the add-ons as "05.33.0") and it appears to be working just fine.
Using Gears with Linux has always been bumpy. I hope that this kind of messing about and uncertainty is going to be eliminated in the future. Gears is an useful bit of kit for the kind of work that I do.
