Regarding glut.h is not shown in /usr/include/GL

[Karthikeyan]

Hi...

In my LINUX system library regarding OpenGL and Xlib is already installed and header files are included in /usr/include/GL path.Inside that gl.h,glu.h,glx.h... are presented.But glut.h is not presented.I execute a program which includes glut.h and other header files like gl.h,glu.h. It shows error which is displayed below..

Errors while executing openGl progs :

main.cpp:32:21: error: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory
main.cpp:41: error: ‘GLuint’ does not name a type
main.cpp:51: error: ‘GLuint’ does not name a type
main.cpp: In function ‘void initRendering()’:
main.cpp:67: error: ‘GL_DEPTH_TEST’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:189: error: ‘glutInitWindowSize’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:191: error: ‘glutCreateWindow’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:194: error: ‘glutDisplayFunc’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:195: error: ‘glutKeyboardFunc’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:196: error: ‘glutReshapeFunc’ was not declared in this scope

"So, I downloaded glut3.6 version Library and try to install glut library once again. It successfully executes mkmkfiles.imake, but while giving
make command it shows the following error."

Cleanest way to solve : use your package management system.
Depends on your linux distribution :
- something like that for debian based (ubuntu, etc) :
sudo apt-get install freeglut-dev
- or somthing like that for rpm based (redhat, fedora etc) :
yum install freeglut-devel

What is your linux distribution and its version ?
