I am trying to run an OpenGL program. When I compile that program terminal, it shows an error:

fatal error: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory  #include <GL/glut.h>

When I try to install freeglut, I got another error:

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libgi-mesa-dev libglui-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev
[sudo] password for yash: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libgi-mesa-dev
E: Unable to locate package libglui-mesa-dev

Please help me to figure this out.

  • I've not heard of a program called "opneGL". Is the source available on github? –  Apr 12 '18 at 12:34

    You appear to be mistyping the relevant package names - for example AFAIK it should be `libglu1-mesa-dev` (with digit `1`) **not** `libglui-mesa-dev` (letter `i`) – steeldriver Apr 12 '18 at 12:36

You seem to mistaking the numeral '1' for 'i'. E.g. the packages you need are: libg1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev NOT libgi-mesa-dev libglui-mesa-dev

Try the 'apt-get' or 'apt install' again with the correctly spelled package names.
