any idea of what could possibly be going on?

[SeaDve]

No specific idea, tbh, maybe outdated libraries?

Edit: From a quick search on the error, you need at least glib 2.80.

[SeaDve]

This should be updated so everyone can get better error message:

[choucavalier]

yes, the version of glib2 was too old! thanks.
