hmm!

on which architecture are you? i368? x86_64??
in the latter case, ftgl has to be compiled with -fPIC in order to work 
together with Gem.
on debian (which i am using), ftgl installs both libftgl.a and libftgl_pic.a
however, i never tried to build ftgl myself (which is not true, but just 
imagine it is)

the simple solution to your problem is to edit the Make.config and 
change "-lftgl_pic" to "-lftgl"
