You need to install the BlitzMax dependencies. This thread is possibly simplest.

i installed the dependencies with terminal as shown and the g++ fix and made sure everything is upto date but i just get ld errors now.

Is there anything im missing in 11.10 thats in 11:04?

Ok if you do it in this order

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev x11proto-core-dev x11proto-gl-dev x11proto-kb-dev libxxf86vm-dev libasound2-dev libfreetype6-dev libxpm-dev libxft-dev

sudo apt-get install build-essential

doing it this way works fine, the problems I had seemed to be there was more upto date versions of the file that are only got via the update call. After that the installs of all the stuff and then the build-essentials to fix the g++ missing error. With all those it works perfectly thus far at least it compiles fine now...

This should be done immediately after a fresh Ubuntu installation and before you install new software:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade

I done all the updates its just I didnt do the commands in the right order to get everything sorted.
