libgap.so.0: No such file or directory

I installed gappy-system using pip3 install gappy-system I also downloaded GAP from https://www.gap-system.org/Releases/4.12.2.html, ran ./configure && make, the BuildPackages.sh script and make install-libgap. When I try to import gappy in python

from gappy import gap

I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/daniele/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gappy/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .core import gap, Gap
ImportError: libgap.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked and my /usr/local/lib contains the file libgap.so, but not the libgap.so.0. Creating a symbolic link using ln -s libgap.so libgap.so.0 does not raise the error, but then if I try running

from gappy import gap
gap.SymmetricGroup(4)

it gives a segmentation fault.

I then tried cloning the repo and installing it from there with pip3 install . but I get the following error
