Yes, it indicates that some code in libgobject-2.9.so.0 is trying to
use the symbol g_bsearch_array_new, which isn't defined.

"nm" will show you all the symbols in an object file or library. The
g_bsearch_array_new symbol supposed to be defined in libglib. In fact,
I just did

nm /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so | grep bsearch

and there it was. It's *not* in libglib-1.2, however, so first check
that you've got libglib-2.0 installed, and if you do, then a google
for the single term "g_bsearch_array_new" yields some interesting
hits. It appears you may be seeing a libtool bug.
