Robert Caulk proposed the following answer:
Hello Henry,

Firstly, why are you compiling from sources? Is there a specific reason
for it? It is much easier to install from packages using sudo apt-get
install yade or yadedaily [1]. If you have a good reason for installing
from sources then consider installing on a LTS version of Ubuntu like
14.04, 16.04 (or 18.04 in a month or two). Finally, if you need it
compiled from sources on 17.10, then you need to show us the output of
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../yourinstallDir ../yourtrunkDir so we can
see which libraries are found and which ones are not.

Additionally, you might consider looking on this forum to find people
who have had the same problem as you. A brief search of "no x rendering
available" yields [2][3]. Please try these solutions and let us know if
they work or not.

Cheers,

Robert
