Rainer,

I have same problem in my Ubuntu.
I solve instaling OpenGl in system, in my case I install this debian
poackages:

freeglut3, freeglut3-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libice-dev,
libsm-dev, libx11-dev, libxau-dev, libxdmcp-dev, libxext-dev, libxt-dev,
mesa-common-dev, x11proto-core-dev, x11proto-input-dev, x11proto-kb-dev,
x11proto-xext-dev, xlibmesa-gl-dev and xtrans-dev

If you install similar packages in your system  I think your problem
will be solve.
