Any help would be appreciated. Not sure what to do from here.

Hi @rgg2 this issue has nothing to do with WholeBrain but with your current Linux set up. It might therefore not be the best place to seek advice here.

but anyway. You are missing a quite fundamental linux library related to OpenGL which handles graphics for you.

the fact that you are missing this strongly suggest you have even more things missing in your linux det up so I would spend some time getting your OS in order.

anyway, the header file in question gl/gl.h is installed among other things through:

sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

This is the error message - which makes no sense to me.

easybuild-kbb471kr.log
build_log.py:169 ERROR EasyBuild crashed with an error (at easybuild/base/exceptions.py:124 in init): cmd " make -j 2 V=1 SHA1_LIBS="$EBROOTNETTLE/lib*/libnettle.a" LIBUNWIND_LIBS="$EBROOTLIBUNWIND/lib*/libunwind.a $EBROOTXZ/lib*/liblzma.a"" exited with exit code 2 and output:

Where is the "Place" to seek advice? for future reference. got past the GL/gl.h

@rgg2 What university and group are you at? Maybe I can point you to someone that could help you.
