FTGL seems configured correctly but I can't get around this error. Any ideas? Thanks /Brad.

hmm!

on which architecture are you? i368? x86_64?? in the latter case, ftgl has to be compiled with -fPIC in order to work together with Gem. on debian (which i am using), ftgl installs both libftgl.a and libftgl_pic.a however, i never tried to build ftgl myself (which is not true, but just imagine it is)

the simple solution to your problem is to edit the Make.config and change "-lftgl_pic" to "-lftgl"
