Note you can render directly to png from most of our tools (e.g., rt -o
file.png). If mged won’t run in GUI mode, then the summary provided at the end
of cmake probably says why. Most common, compiling against X11 may be disabled
because you do not have requisite developer headers installed. See README (and
by extension doc/README.Linux) for details.

Everyone should really be able to get graphical MGED working, even unassisted.
That doesn’t mean avoid asking for help if people are stuck and you’ve
genuinely been trying for an hour. It just means everyone should try. You're
may be overlooking informative messages from either make or (more likely) cmake
in this particular instance.
Cheers!
