I'm trying to start out using the Chipmunk physics engine and I just installed the latest version. I opened the installed folder and inputted the commands cmake ., then make as the website said. When compiling all the files, a few warnings showed up:

I also had to copy the file /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h to /usr/include/sys/sysctl.h , because it would not build properly otherwise. After building, i executed the chipmunk_demos program and it seems that most of the demos instantly freeze when two bodies collide, having to Ctrl-C the program to be able to close it. The terminal also doesn't show any warnings or errors at the moment of freezing, it just seems to silently crash.
I tried clearing the built files with make clean and then rebuilding, but as expected nothing changed. The warnings might suggest it has to do something with memory, but I have no idea how to fix it or if I'm going to have to edit most of the files to do so. Is the install just broken somehow?
Edit: This text also appears in the terminal when the program is executed. Seems to be only errors related to the GUI and such and therefore probably not related to the crash, but I'm putting them out there just in case:
MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
glx: failed to create drisw screen
