Here is how to compile irrlicht first. Copy this to your /opt folder

sudo svn co https://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/irrlicht/trunk irrlicht

save it as 'uppirr.sh' and make it executable

cd /opt
./uppirr.sh
<enter password>

after it finishes:
cd irrlicht/source/Irrlicht
sudo make

Then you should be able to compile with the latest version, where the Makefile is pointing to. You may change that to another folder if you wish, if you don't want to place irrlicht in your /opt folder.
