 ~> dpkg -S /usr/include/GL/gl.h
mesa-common-dev: /usr/include/GL/gl.h

 ~> dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
diversion by nvidia-glx-new from: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
diversion by nvidia-glx-new to: /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
libgl1-mesa-glx, nvidia-glx-new: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

If you have an nvidia card, I'd suggest using the nvidia gl libraries.
 If you don't I guess the mesa one would do.
