This most likely means that there is a problem with your distribution or
system setup.  It's looking for libGL.so, as zakk said.  Locate that and
then we'll be able to help you get it fixed.

For what it's worth, there is no such thing as a guaranteed-to-compile
snapshot.  We tend not to put stuff into CVS if it doesn't compile, or
at least try not to, but nothing is guaranteed to compile on everyone's
computer.

I am sure that a static binary will be made available at some point but
we have not made an official release yet and those sort of things are
more appropriate for releases.
