This is a warning sign to me. AFAIK, Debian (and Ubuntu) will *never*
install things to /opt as part of the official packages. This indicates
to me that you don't actually have the correct development packages
installed, but some probably incompatible source install.

Indeed, and most likely won't work with the official Ubuntu packages either.

I'd recommend removing that symlink and getting the actual Ubuntu dev
packages installed (libgl1-mesa-dev, which should put the GL.h header
into usr/include/GL/gl.h).
