Welcome.

The "./configure; make; make install" is the common way to install sources
in Linux world.  You can type './configure --help' for all the options
that configure takes.

Yes, it's expecting OpenGL.

Two options:

1) Install Fox without OpenGL:

./configure --with-opengl=no

2) Install OpenGL:

Mandrake Control Center
    -> Software Management
    -> Install Software
    -> Search for 'opengl' and install all the packages.

There will likely be two packages.  One contains the library per se, the
other the include files that allow you to compile software to use the
library.  You need both.

Then you can do a './configure --with-opengl=opengl'
