OpenGL libraries not found. But WHY????


When I try to configure a game using the console, after many "checkings", it shows these messages:

checking for GL library... no
checking for GL library (with pthreads)... no
checking for MesaGL library... no
checking for MesaGL library (with pthreads)... no
checking for opengl32 library... no
checking for opengl32 library (with pthreads)... no
configure: error: Cannot find GL library

What's the problem???
How can I get the OpenGL libraries???
Thanks, buddies!

I guess so...
I mean, I've already installed a game, and everything else works properly in my laptop... EXCEPT for this.
Is there a way I can download the libraries or check if I got them???

You probably need to install mesa and mesa-dev or devel or whatever it's on your distro. Knowing which game are you talking about and a link to download it (I assume it's open source) could help as well.

It's ok. I got it.
The game I wanted to install (and I installed) was Extreme Tux Racer.
I saw in another forum that the game was already inside Ubuntu, so I just typed "sudo apt-get install extremetuxracer" from the console... That's it.
By the way, I tried it and the video it's not good... The fault's is my laptop's... It's about 3 years old...
Thanks, anyways.
