Hard to say why (obviously it works for me...). You could try running
muse from gdb and seeing where it segfaults. Or running "strace muse" to
see what system calls it was trying to do before dying. Maybe there is a
dependency that is not explicitly discovered by the build process and is
causing the segfault. 

I would also try to get rid of any configuration files you may have
around: remove (or move somewhere else) both ~/.musePrj and ~/.MusE
