sword seems to have a lot of issues...
the problems starts with lack of a pre-generated configure script.
this forces the user to have the complete fragile autoconf stack installed.
even running autogen.sh fails, because it uses AM_CONFIG_HEADER instead
of AC_CONFIG_HEADER (the former is long obsolete and causes an error):
configure.ac:16: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER

AC_CANONICAL_TARGET
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
with that fixed, compilation itself succeeds, however starting the
diatheke program yields - nothing, not even an error message.
one thing i noticed is that it tries to dlopen any library it wants to
use rather than linking it directly. if the binary doesn't find for
example libsword.so, it prints no error and justs quits silently.
after putting the .so's where the binary searches for them, it iterates
over a gazillion of files in /share/sword/locales.d/ like
zh_CN-utf8.conf and reserves memory for them - apparently it caches them
all even if they're not used...
then it justs quits without even trying to load the KJV file... (my
guess is that it didn't find some .so it depends on and then stops
somewhere where it would require the external lib functionality but has
only a nullpointer).
so unfortunately due to above issues, i've not been able to reproduce
your problem.
