OpenGL shaders not working with uniform variable - c

Question

I'm trying to write a code to draw a triangle with changing color, following the tutorial LearnOpenGL - Shaders.
But my code doesn't work, the triangle is blinking instead of gradually change the color, I don't know if it is a hardware or software problem.
Can anyone help me?
I'm using OpenGL 3.0 with Mesa 18.3.4.
And compiling with gcc shaders_change.c -lGL -lglfw -lm

thank you all for help!!
I'd discover what is my problem, I'd just forgot to include de glad.h library and the libdl.
