In case you still have issues with your development environment setup, I
have made this virtual disk image:
https://mega.nz/#!za5GASRZ!t8jkYok9_6Jg9j5Evga0UESaMZ3H46gHYYhuwcjHg9M
The file is compressed with 7-zip. You can run the Virtual Disk Image
(.vdi) inside Virtual Box. The .vdi includes Ubuntu 18.04, BRL-CAD r70379,
and all the dependencies (including X11, OpenGL, OpenCL). It also includes
a compiled version of BRL-CAD which has working OpenCL support.

The BRL-CAD sources are located in '~/brlcad'.
