Get the missing includes from the links below and put them into their 
appropriate place in the directory structure (/usr/include/GL/):

http://dri.sourceforge.net/res/glu.h
http://dri.sourceforge.net/res/glut.h

Depending on how broken or ok the rest of your DRI/MESA/GL package 
installation is, you might need to fetch even more headers.

Write a short C program where you #include <GL/glut.h>, compile and 
watch the error messages floating by.

You could also check out the recently made drop release of MESA:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mesa3d/Mesa/include/GL/
