RedHat have installed gl.h in the wrong place. The standard
is defined by section 4 of this document:

      http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/ABI 

So OpenGL headers should be in /usr/include/GL/gl.h and glu.h
(GLUT headers should be in the same place).

The libraries should be in /usr/lib/libGL.so and libGLU.so - with
GLUT in /usr/lib/libglut.so

The simplest thing is to create a couple of symbolic links pointing
from the correct place to wherever RH dropped them.
