If you're using NVIDIA hardware, you should use NVIDIA's drivers.  The 
"nouveau" Mesa drivers for NVIDIA probably aren't ready for non-developers.

If you clobbed your NVIDIA installation with Mesa, you'll have to 
re-install your NVIDIA driver package.

I think most Linux distros already include GLU and GLUT libraries but if 
they're missing you can build "stand-alone" Mesa (see web page 
instructions) and just copy the libGLU.so and libglut.so libraries to 
wherever you want.
