Subsystem OPENGL gives linker error

calling OpenWindowedSreen on OpenScreen crashes the X-server... (no subsystem used i.e opengl)
Try terrain.pb or camera.pb
If trying with Subsytem opengl I get a linker error: cannot find -lXxf86vm ...

found the reason... it was the x installation itself... did a fresh install and no crash anymore... (weired..... ) BUT... the subsystem opengl still did not work...

Running Ubuntu 7.04 on VMWare and using PureBasic 4.01, I get the exact same error message with the 'opengl' subsystem activated.
The sprite.pb demo file compiles & runs ok.
My code uses Sprite3D as well and produces the linker error message.
How does one reinstall X on Ubuntu? Is this possible with Synaptic or should I use apt-get?
Thanks!

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev

Thanks Trond, installing this package indeed resolves the linking problem. I've got other problems now, but I have to delve into these before asking new questions here....
Thanks again!
