That's the include file. The error is saying you don't have libGL.so,
which it is looking for in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Do you have that
file? Is it there, and marked as executable?
It's probably a symbolic link; on an old Ubuntu system I just checked,
it points to mesa/libGL.so, which is also a symlink, pointing to
mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0, which is executable.
