I know there's already a post relating to a similar problem using BM under the *Suse* distro, but this one is to do with Mandrake and I didn't want to barge in on somone else's topic with my own issue. So I've created this new thread. Hope it's ok.

I basically can't get BM to compile anything under Mandrake. Here is the output BMax gives me when I try:-

Building swirly
Linking:swirly.debug
/usr/bin/Id: cannot find -IGL
collect2: Id returned 1 exit status
Build Error: Failed to link /home/tom/Desktop/Blitz/samples/swirly/swirly.debug
Process complete

***NB: there is no way to cut&paste between the BM IDE and different apps so I've had to eyeball-copy the output. Hope it's correct.****

I've also typed in the various test commands in the Linux console, here are their outputs:-

[tom@shuttle tom]$ gcc -v

[tom@shuttle tom]$ g++

It looks as though GCC is installed correctly (??), so can anyone tell what's wrong from the above info.? Any ideas on how to fix it?
