Having met that issue , i've found its was due to mesa packages from ppa
(xorg-edgers in my case).

so:
- activate that ppa if not yet done
- from a terminal:  sudo ppa-purge ppa:thatppa  (ppa-purge have to be installed 
first indeed)

this will downgrade all the mesa packages.

then freeglut3-dev can be installed without trouble.

** Changed in: freeglut (Ubuntu)
