Here's an R too many, but the things that you're missing are include
files for GL code:

> opengl.h:19:19: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory
> opengl.h:20:20: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory
> x11gui.h:13:20: GL/glx.h: No such file or directory

You don't actually say what your platform is and the version info is
insufficient to distinguish between SuSE and RedHat for instance. What
you need to do exactly depends on distribution. In RedHat you seem to
need to install XFree86-devel whereas SuSE wants XFree86-Mesa-devel.
You probably also need the actual libraries: XFree86-Mesa-libGL and
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU (RH), respectively XFree86-Mesa (SuSE).
