It seems that the scripts referenced in your configuration file (blocks from the config.h) are not present in your path. These blocks in the config.h are merely examples of how to configure dwmblocks. The actual scripts used in the configuration can be found here: https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dotfiles/tree/main/.local/bin/statusbar. You need to place them in a directory that is included in your PATH.

Thanks @DusanLesan for the clarification. Closing this since that's the solution. Please take a look at the README for configuration details.
