ginn crashes on ubuntu 18.04 (backtrace available)

I know this project is quite old (last update in 2012 I think), but I am trying to use it on Ubuntu 18.04 (xubuntu actually). Here's the backtrace (only 1 very simple wish from the default one):

(gdb) backtrace

Anyone can help me (I cannot compile from source because libbamf is not available (only bamf3-dev). Is there an alternative?

Thanks
