You have to install it.
For Ubuntu, I think the command is:
sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
As this installs everything freeglut depends on.
For other linux distros (I run Arch Linux), just search Google for opengl headers {distro}.

And
libglw1-mesa, which is the most important of all. It's an implementation (very well known) of the OpenGL API.

Thanks. I don't run Ubuntu any more, so I knew something was wrong with the command list ;)

Blender doesn't use Ubuntu anymore ='( Windows?

Ubuntu has become a netbook distro IMO, same with GNOME's layout. Arch Linux is my distro of choice now, as at least I can install XFCE without any problems on it...

I miss XFCE, it's been so long.

You need to install mesa (if you don't have a graphics card with decent drivers). Depending on your distro, there should be an easy way to do this. You'll be interested in mesa-common-dev or libmesa.
On gentoo with an nvidia graphics card, I installed nvidia-drivers and I get the header files with it.
On ubuntu, I installed mesa-common-dev.
