Are you using pre-built gtkmm / gtk+ packages or did you build it from
source?  It looks to me like you have some sort of an installation
issue -- either some mismatched library versions or some libraries
compiled without support for certain things, or something like that,
but I can't say for sure.  A quick google search indicates that this
may happen on older versions of windows so that could also be part of
the issue.
