It has to do with nVidia video sync.  Can be compiled without by undefineing 
USING_OPENGL_VSYNC using --disable-opengl-vsync.  As for why its failing, no 
idea, must be missing in the library.

/** \brief Video synchronization class employing SGI_video_sync
 *         OpenGL extension.
 *
 *   Uses glXWaitVideoSyncSGI() to wait for retrace. Phase-maintaining,
 *   meaning WaitForFrame should always return approximately the same time
 *   after a vertical retrace.
 *
 *   This works with version 50 or later of the nVidia vendor drivers.
 *
 *   Special care must be taken with this video sync method due
 *   to a bad interaction between some pthread implementations
 *   and OpenGL. OpenGL DIRECT contexts can not be shared between
 *   processes. And some pthread implementations, notably a common
 *   one on Linux, treat each thread as a seperate process.
 *   Hence Start(void), Stop(void) and WaitForFrame(void) must all be called
 *   from the same thread.
