This error statement during building helped me to solve the problem:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

The linkage on my computer between the openGL library and the place where other software looks for it, was broken...

just found the library and associated the right files:

ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so

Basically the fglrx driver (Proprietary AMD ATI Graphics driver) did not set up a correct link to the usr/lib/, it only kept the library one level below in /usr/lib/fglrx/ without linking it

It could be, that there is a broken link libGL.so already existing in the /usr/lib/ directory, remove it before running the command
