You probably got something broken in your package management somewhere. Usually those links are installed when you install a proprietary driver, because they ship their own libGL. Its actually a bit twisty for most package managers to get this right.

But its working, so good enough :)

Yeah I think I'll blame the ATi/AMD proprietary drivers, fglrx, I had them before, then they got broken with the Linux MINT 15 release.
Removing them took some action with a crowbar but it did still compile after that because that was the day I got it running with the buggy shaders using the open source xserver-xorg-video-ati drivers.

All very weird, almost like it had pending jobs to fuckup the libGL.so links on reboot :(

Oh and just to confirm, if you add the 'DisableEclipse=1' string to the 'config.ini' then shaders work just fine on Linux again, even with the open source drivers :)
