after further searching this is what I turned up.

Will
this do anything bad for the system or useless? What about the sample code
that he included?
Installing openGL in Linux Mint / Ubuntu for Graphics Lab
<

This is fairly simple actually.
All you have to do is to install the following things in your Linux distro.
sudo apt-get install freeglut3
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install binutils-gold
And you are done :)
Here is a sample code for you:
/*
* File: main.cpp
* Author: lordamit
*
* Created on July 9, 2012, 12:53 PM
*/
#include <GL/glut.h>
using namespace std;
void draw(void) {
//set Background color
glClearColor(1, 0, 0, 1);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
//Draw color
glFlush();
}
//Main program
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
//set window position
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 25);
//set window size
glutInitWindowSize(500, 250);
//set window name
glutCreateWindow("My window");
//Call to the drawing function
glutDisplayFunc(draw);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}
Save this file using name program.c and compile it using
gcc -lGL -lglut program.c -o program
And execute it using
./program
You are done!
