I got a new system, with Ubuntu 18.04.4. I am trying to install my environments to compile nvcc and I need glew glfw etc. here I am trying to install glew 1.10.0 for this program by running the make file and I get the following (other library failures during other installs as well):
$ make
cc -shared -Wl,-soname=libGLEW.so.1.10 -o lib/libGLEW.so.1.10.0 tmp/linux/default/shared/glew.o -L/usr/lib -lXmu -lXi -lGL -lXext -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:108: recipe for target 'lib/libGLEW.so.1.10.0' failed
make: *** [lib/libGLEW.so.1.10.0] Error 1
After sudo ldconfig also no change in the above
I even tried the following
$ sudo ld -verbose -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lXmu
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.30
Supported emulations:

I am really confused and I don't know how to move on from this point. Do I have to make linkers for each library or there is a simpler more correct method to doing this. And just to confirm
locate libXmu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXmu.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXmu.so.6.2.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXmuu.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXmuu.so.1.0.0
I believe that eventhough I have been working on linux for 2 years, I am still a newbie.
I just
sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev
&
sudo apt-get install libxi-dev
and the installation worked.
