Not sure. But I work with NVidia and have the following  under
/usr/include/GL$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 376506 2009-01-06 22:13 glext.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  72949 2009-01-06 22:13 gl.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  17163 2008-10-22 05:58 glu.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3315 2008-10-22 05:58 glu_mangle.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  33751 2009-01-06 22:13 glxext.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  14021 2009-01-06 22:13 glx.h

Do you have all of those installed as well?
