openGL libraries/headers missing


I've been trying to compile glest, however I seem to be missing opengl headers:

Code:
checking for OpenGL library... no
configure: error: You need to have OpenGL headers and libraries installed
It's i386 debian sid with nvidia proprietary drivers.

I can't find the right package to install

Code:
debtop:/home/xtd8865# aptitude search opengl*

I know that glest is in sid's repositories, however, that version doesn't seem to work on my system ie. the game menu is without any fonts/letters.

thanks

"libgl1-mesa-dev" would supply GL headers, but these differ from the NVidia headers. You may need to run the NVidia installer and ask it to install the GL headers. If you used the Debian packages to install the NVidia driver (rather than using the installer direct from NVidia) then you will need to install nvidia-glx-dev
