I could not agree more! These are kind of things I am learning progressively, like the advantage of -static, on another project. Also kind of annoyances you don't know on less refined systems (I am used to a clunky, commercial one called Windows).

Absolutely, it solved lots of problems on that other project.

I'm afraid you went past any problem with texture loading if you get that message (your post after having restored the .zip files):
 
"

It looks like an OpenGL issue with your Linux installation.
Perhaps a plain Ubuntu would help ? Everything fine with other OpenGL-based software ?...
