    Hi,

    I want to do some openGL programming on my aspire one (I have the linux version), but I'm having some trouble getting openGL installed. It doesn't show up in the package manager, and I can't seem to find it online.

    It seems like the computer ships with some kind of openGL support because when I run "glxgears" from a terminal, it works. But the usual files GL/glx.h, GL/glu.h, GL/gl.h, and GL/glut.h do not appear to be anywhere on the computer (when I run "find -name glx.h" for example). I know this computer runs "freeglut" instead of glut, but even so I don't seem to have the other openGL header files either. I was wondering if anybody had figured out how to get openGL running and could post a guide? Thank you very much!
