Judging by the warning messages that say 'glade' and not 'glade-3', you are
using git master or unstable 3.9.

Which means your libs and catalogs fall under a new install prefix, and also
means you need the libvte for GTK+ 3.x

Do you have a vte for GTK+3 ? is it indicated correctly in the vte catalog
file you're using ?
