Thank you guys for the responses! I am not sure why this happened but when I clicked on the executable file the program ran. However, when I started it using Terminal, the program got error again. Anyway I think I just started it directly then...
BTW, does anyone know how to create a Gtk::Button that contains Stock image. In other words, do you know how to create a GtkStockButton without label?
