Hello people, i am using linux mint (a distro derived from ubuntu) and i am having problems compiling a c++ program that uses glfw. The problem started after i installed the nvidia drivers for my 8800gt (the same program compiled fine before i installed th drivers). Now, when trying to compile i get the following output:

Any ideas what could have caused this?

libxrandr-dev and libpthread-dev are missing.

(you have might have to link them, too)

Thanks :)
