I can't seem to get BlitzMax to work on my Mepis Linux system. When I downloaded, I saw that the whole thing was already set up with all the directories in place (after I decompressed.) One problem: when I try to compile and run, I get this message --

Building spintext
Linking:spintext.debug
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Process complete

Weird thing is, I HAVE openGL support. Also there aren't any libraries in lib directory. That's probably the root of the problem, and obviously I don't know what I should do. Can some expert tell me what I should do?
