I'm on a linux machine, don't know if that's relevant or not

Found out what the problem was.

If you're facing the same problem on a ubuntu/debian machine try running:

sudo apt-get install xorg-dev sudo apt-get install build-essentials (installs gcc) sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

these are essential for using go-gl on a ubuntu/debian machine.
