Local OBS build won't start, reports: undefined symbol: obs_set_ui_task_handler

I'm on a Debian 10 system, KDE Plasma desktop. The version of OBS from Debian is 23.2.1. I was having issues with it not exiting cleanly and having to manually kill it and decided to try building my own. I followed the instructions found here.

Building completed without any problem but trying to run OBS from a menu or desktop icon failed. So I switched to the command line. OBS reports:
$ obs --version
OBS Studio - 26.1.2-157-g999d32e58 (linux)
Running from the command line I got the following output:
$ obs

OBS did not start. The exit code, for what it may be worth, was 127.
I did a web search as well as a local search of this forum and did not find any references to this undefined symbol error.

Did I miss something in the compile? Or could this be a dynamic linking error for some lib not in the search path?
Thoughts on fixing or to provide more detailed debug info?
Thanks,
Bob

OK, I purged my new install, removed all the files I had downloaded, reinstalled the old one and purged it (just being a bit compulsive, perhaps?).

Downloaded from git per the instructions, as before, and the new build works as expected. ;)

Thanks for the help.
