Installing glfw3 on ubuntu 13.04 - make error

I downloaded glfw 3.0.2 and trying to install it onto Ubuntu 13.04. (Running Amd radeon drivers 13.08 beta - if that is any relevance.)

I followed the readme and installed xorg-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev. I then run 'cmake .' and then 'make' and get these errors: 

$ make

Any assistance?

For proprietary drivers see update & warning below

Try reinstalling libgl1-mesa-dev and libgl1-mesa-glx wich renews the libGL.so symlink without manual interference.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx

This worked for: Debian Wheezy

Update & Warning:

Turn's out the reinstallation of libgl1-mesa-dev and libgl1-mesa-glx renewed - as expected - the libGL.so symlink, but also broke my proprietary nvidia driver installation. After reinstalling the driver everything's fine. So in that case, it might be a good idea to just reinstall your proprietary driver.

This is what worked for me (Using Ubuntu 13.10):

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so

This should work, but if you get an error like this:

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so’: File exists

Try deleting the symlink or renaming it to something else and re-trying the above command. In my case it was pointing to an unknown file libGL.so.1.2.0.

check if /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so exists. If no, use "apt-file search libGL.so" to find out in which package this file lies. Then install this package.

You may also try to make a symlink, as this file should be a symlink to some other .so file like libGL.so.x.y, where x and y are version numbers.
