I'm running Linux Mint 19.1 on my laptop and facing this problem. When I try to compile C++ program with OpenGL libraries it says:
$ make
g++ solsys.cpp -lglut -lGLEW -lGL -lGLU -fpermissive -o solsys
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
<builtin>: recipe for target 'solsys' failed
make: *** [solsys] Error 1
When I try to run already compiled programs before, but on this machine it says
./rotation: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I actually understand the problem is in incorrect installing of libraries, but can't solve it.
glxino | grep OpenGL outputs this

By the way, I have problems with installing Nvidia drivers on my laptop but gave up on it.
