Fatal error: gl/glut.h: no such file or directory

  • 772

I'm attempting to write a program and I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: gl/glut.h: no such file or directory

I've read through other similar problems that people were having, and nothing has worked for me. What can I do to solve this problem?

c++

  1. On Ubuntu 13.10 this file is available in the freeglut3-dev package.

    $ sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

    You must also be aware that C++ and Ubuntu are both case-sensitive. The correct include line in your program is:

    #include <GL/glut.h>

    The upper-case "GL" is important.

  2. On a Debian based system, do

    sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
