I thought GLU was shipped with the latest nVidia drivers - well, perhaps
not.

I suggest you download *BUT DO NOT INSTALL* Mesa from www.mesa3d.org because
it contains a valid GLU library and glu.h - don't install it because it will
overwrite your nVidia drivers.

Perhaps they are installed - but in the wrong place.  You should have:

   /usr/include/GL/glut.h

...and...

   /usr/lib/libglut.a  ...or... /usr/lib/libglut.so

...some distro's (incorrectly) install GLUT in /usr/X11 somwhere - or perhaps
in /usr/local
