I wrote this code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glx.h>    
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>


void init()
{
    glClearColor(1.0,1.0,1.0,0.0);
    glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    gluOrtho2D(0.0,200.0,0.0,150.0);
 }

 void lineSegment()
 {
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
    glColor3f(0.0,0.0,1.0);
        glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
            glVertex2i(40,120);
            glVertex2i(40,20);
            glVertex2i(80,20);
        glEnd();
    glFlush();
 }
 int main()
 {
    glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB);
    glutInitWindowPosition(50,100);
    glutInitWindowSize(400,300);
    glutCreateWindow("An Example OpenGL....");
    init();
    glutDisplayFunc(lineSegment);
    glutMainLoop();
    return 0;
 }

and this is my error.

You will have to place the file in front of any -l options , here for an example:

g++ X.cpp -lX11 -lGL -lGLU -lglut -g -Wall -O2 -o X

Also make sure the following packages is already present:

sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev

And ensure glx module is loaded in Xorg

Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
EndSection

Good luck with OpenGL programming !
