That was the problem... Thanks ! I still can't get it to run at the right speed yet though.. Without parameters it runs way too fast and with them (-sync 25 -uperiod 2) it runs too slow..

Couldn't compile openMSX because of some 'sstream' thingy not being available. LibXML 2.x was installed... > But even if GL won't work, you can always try SDL.
