How do you compile an OpenGL program on Ubuntu?

When I try to compile the first example on this page using:

cc -o abgr abgr.c -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -lm

I get an error message saying:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What is "lXmu"? How do I get this to compile?
