OpenGL should be installed by default. If you need development versions of the libraries with the header files, for compiling your own stuff, install packages like freeglut3-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev or libglfw-dev, depending on what you need exactly. They will pull in some dependencies

What's your graphics card? If it's an ATI Radeon HD 2000-series or higher, or any Nvidia graphics card, you need to install the AMD/ATI driver from the Additional Drivers program.

If it's an ATI Radeon but not a Radeon HD, you're out of luck, sorry. Those cards only work with the default open-source driver, which might not do 3D very well.

If it's Intel graphics, I'd be surprised if you were getting an error message like that, as the open-source drivers for Intel cards support 3D and OpenGL.

If it's anything else, like VIA or SiS graphics, sorry; you've got a lemon. You can't use 3D on Linux with those graphics cards.

Look to this :

lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520MX] (rev a1)

If that's an Optimus setup, you'll need to use Bumblebee.

Take a look at this wiki: Bumblebee.

Bumblebee only helps to switch GPUs. The OP needs to install the Nvidia driver, and optionally Bumblebee.
