Why did you use -nw?  I meant for you to try the usual GUI session.

Are you building from the Git repository?  If so, don't: doing that
requires byte-compiling all the Lisp files, which would be difficult
given your problems.

Instead, try building an official 25.1 release tarball, then invoke
temacs built there, and see if it works.
