I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 (Desktop) for amd64 (64-bit). I then did an upgrade to apply all patches. On a fully patched system I installed GNUbg from the command line using:
sudo apt-get install gnubg gnubg-data
The I generated the bearoff database with:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnubg
I installed ipython with:
sudo apt-get install ipython
When I run it from the command line I get:
(No game) >
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/frontend.py:30: UserWarning: The top-level `frontend` package has been deprecated. All its subpackages have been moved to the top `IPython` level.
warn("The top-level `frontend` package has been deprecated. "
IPython 2.4.1, Python 2.7.11+ (default, Apr 17 2016, 14:00:29)
[GCC 5.3.1 20160413]

I do get the Ipython command prompt and I am able to issue commands to GNUbg.
I then added the deb-src entries to my /etc/apt/sources.list and then ran this command to pull out all the required build dependencies for building GNUbg:
sudo apt-get build-dep gnubg
sudo apt-get install cvs
I pulled out the source code with:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/gnubg co gnubg
After entering the build directory with cd gnubg I did this:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/home/username/local
make
make install
When I run it as:
/home/username/local/bin/gnubg -t
It does work correctly. username is my account name in these examples. There is no hang.
What might help is to know what packages you have installed in your Ubuntu installation. Could you provide us the output of this command:
dpkg -l
