I'm getting tons of following output:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0.2200.30: No such file or directory.
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
            7ffff71b9bc1 gtk_css_node_invalidate_timestamp+0x31 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0.2200.30)

I assume it's because I have all the dso binaries stored
under .biuldid path, while you check the output name
