[ODE] trouble compiling from SVN on Debian Sid (unstable)

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

I was having the same problems for a while, I am not sure what the 
reason is,
but if you have previously called "make install", you could try "make 
uninstall" and try again,
if the problem persists, try with a fresh copy from SVN.

I noticed the drawstuff include directory was on my compiler path with a 
couple of files, which should
be installed at all, so, it may be getting on the way.
