Manuel,

I had a similar situation on Linux that I resolved by recompiling
everything cleaning. It seems that I had some libraries that were out of
sync.

Also you are on a pretty old version (3.4), I would strongly recommend
upgrading to the released version of 3.5, which will be easier to get
support on.
