Blender Git master crashes upon starting up

For the first time in over a decade of using Blender, I decided to try compiling the software from its Git repository as I do with other programs. I checked out git://git.blender.org/blender.git then configured everything with cmake and compiled successfully! But although everything compiled well, Blender refuses to run. The binary instantly crashes with the following console output:

The relevant and non-repetitive parts of the log, as forum limits don’t allow me to post it all:

Any idea on what this might be and why it takes place? My OS is Linux openSUSE Tumbleweed x64, and I compiled latest GIT master of Blender with the default settings proposed by cmake.

Hi, I ran into this as well, I’ve snipped the thing to show relevant lines,
here at least the std::logic_error is being thrown because of the 2nd line:

Freestyle: couldn't find 'scripts/freestyle/modules', Freestyle won't work properly.

Running make install (which installed scripts/ into the build/bin directory) fixes it.
