what do you get when you run

apt-cache search xlibmesa-glu

The output of it might give you a clue as to what package you have to install with apt-get

after further searching this is what I turned up. http://lordamit.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-opengl-in-linux-mint-ubuntu.html Will this do anything bad for the system or useless? What about the sample code that he included?


  Installing openGL in Linux Mint / Ubuntu for Graphics Lab
  
<http://lordamit.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-opengl-in-linux-mint-ubuntu.html>

This is fairly simple actually.

All you have to do is to install the following things in your Linux distro.

sudo apt-get install freeglut3
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install binutils-gold
And you are done :)

Here is a sample code for you:

/*
  * File:   main.cpp
  * Author: lordamit
  *
  * Created on July 9, 2012, 12:53 PM
  */

#include <GL/glut.h>
using namespace std;

void draw(void) {
//set Background color
     glClearColor(1, 0, 0, 1);
     glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
     //Draw color
     glFlush();

}

//Main program

int main(int argc, char **argv) {

     glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB); //set window position
     glutInitWindowPosition(50, 25);
//set window size
     glutInitWindowSize(500, 250);
//set window name
     glutCreateWindow("My window");
//Call to the drawing function
     glutDisplayFunc(draw);
glutMainLoop();
     return 0;
}

Save this file using name program.c and compile it using
gcc -lGL -lglut program.c -o program

And execute it using
./program

You are done!

    -f . Then I reran install and same error.

        maybe this will fix it:

        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get --fix-missing
        then try sudo apt-get install again

        You'll need to make sure the appropriate OpenGL drivers are
        installed, plus these libraries:
        * /libSDL 1.2/
        * /libSDL_image/
        * /OpenAL/
        (Note: To use the client provided with the Linux package, you
        will need /OpenAL-Soft/ instead of OpenAL, otherwise you will
        need to compile your own client if you would rather use
        normal OpenAL).

        I know what they want me to do but googling it is confusing.
        HOw do I do this. this is what I was told to do and the result:

        bmike1@Presario1:~$ sudo apt-get install xlibmesa-gl
        xlibmesa-glu mesa-utils libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
        libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri
        Reading package lists... Done
        Building dependency tree
        Reading state information... Done
        E: Unable to locate package xlibmesa-gl
