Ubuntu QT5 "cannot find -lGL"

[microbrain]

Help!

I have been using qt5 for a while on WIN7 and now wish to use it on my Ubuntu partition.
I downloaded the LINUX 64 QT5 and initially got the error something like' no compiler in kit'
I then installed gcc but now get the following compiler output;

09:56:25: Starting: "/usr/bin/make"
g++ -Wl,-rpath,/home/bill/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/bill/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/lib -o test001 main.o mainwindow.o moc_mainwindow.o -L/home/bill/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/gcc_64/lib -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lGL -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

WIth the errors listed as;

Cannot find -lGL
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Many for reading & even more if you can help!
