I hope this helps:
Go here for info on OpenGL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opengl
scroll down to where it says, "Associated utility libraries" and get all the packages mentioned that you can find. I have packages like, freeglut, sdl, and xorg-x11-server-glx and things like that on my system. They may have changed the names of the packages by now, I don't know (I'm running SuSE 10.0 - it's considered to be old).
