Wa alaykom assalam,
Assuming you're using Ubuntu/Debian, install libgl-dev and then you'll
find the headers in /usr/include and the libraries in /usr/lib

note: the exact package for me is libgl1-mesa-dev but I think
libgl-dev is more general.

so for a simple OpenGL hello world you should be able to compile it by
running:
g++ gl.cpp -lGL -lGLU

but the above compilation command assumes no other library is used for
initialization which is impossible, so in practice this line is

g++ gl.cpp -lglut

assuming GLUT is used to handle windowing and events(and it instructs
the compiler to link with libGL)

I suggest that you use the cross-platform abstraction library SDL to
avoid dealing with the OS directly, SDL abstracts events and windowing
and your program becomes really cross-platform, it's similar to GLUT
but in a much better way.

salam
