Starting OpenGL In Linux
Glut is in kind of a weird place. If you are downloading Mesa, then make sure to download the source AND the demo package. Glut is in the demo package. Extract both tars into the same directory, and then ./configure && make && su -c "make install"
It's really not obvious at all, so it was a little frustrating for me until I finally found it myself.

Okay:
gcc lesson1.c -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lglut
gcc -o homer lesson1.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lglut
'homer' booted just fine. Given lesson1, all it did was show up a blank screen, escape closing it.
SO, my FINAL question:
Why the heck did adding ONLY glut and removing the openGL libraries FIX THIS!!!
All the other methods posted in here produced nothing but missing reference or missing library '/usr/bin/ld the linker was freakin out'
Edit: AND NOW MY COMPILER OF CHOICE, Intel 'icc' won't work.
IPO Error: unresolved : glClearColor() for example.
gcc lesson1.c -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lglut
gcc -o homer lesson1.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lglut

HAHAHA I THINK I SOLVED IT!!!
All the OpenGL libraries where located in
/usr/X11R6/lib/
So I copied the libG*.so (which ended up being about 8 openGL named files) to:
/usr/lib
Now I can link the libraries properly like you guys have been informing me at least.

use -L/usr/X11r6/lib/ before any -lglut or -lGL flags. Most of my openGL examples contain linux makefiles, you might find some of them kinda useful link
