The first question is: do other GTK programs installed on the box
segfault? For example, some of the Debian packages? That tells you if
you should be looking at libraries or not.
 
You might try "apt-get install some-random-package"; if you have any
broken dependencies apt will whine about it.

The problem here is not missing libraries, it's some sort of
incompatible libraries, or possibly a bug in some library or program.
If you had missing libraries then you'd get a linker message instead
of segv.

Before anything else, try "make clean" and rebuilding the app on your
Debian box though.
