Core dump when running Chapter 1

Hi, I'm new to Rust and gamedev, and unfortunately I've stuck at the very first chapter. Both an independent project following the tutorial and the cloned repo yield the same error when I run them after building. Other rust programs and rust projects I've written build and run fine; I am not sure if it is caused by an issue with the bterm builder creating a window that my system does not like. I would greatly appreciate the help!

Journalctl yields the core dump as:
