Sounds like you want the headers and linkable libraries. There's a
libgl-dev virtual package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/virtual/libgl-dev

You can see that there's a software rendering library and an accelerated
library, so you'd probably want to pick libgl1-mesa-dev

Once it's installed you can run "dpkg -L libgl1-mesa-dev" to find out
where its files are located.

Generally they'll be in the right place so your source should compile
just like normal:

gcc -lGL my-opengl-program.c
