You need to install mesa (if you don't have a graphics card with decent drivers). Depending on your distro, there should be an easy way to do this. You'll be interested in mesa-common-dev or libmesa.

On gentoo with an nvidia graphics card, I installed nvidia-drivers and I get the header files with it.

On ubuntu, I installed mesa-common-dev.

You have to install it.

For Ubuntu, I think the command is:

sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev

As this installs everything freeglut depends on.

For other linux distros (I run Arch Linux), just search Google for opengl headers {distro}.
