You might not have the NVIDIA headers installed. Check /usr/include/GL/gl.h to see if it has an NVIDIA copyright at the top or an x.org one. I think some of the non-NVIDIA binary distributions of the driver include only the libraries and X server extension, and not the development stuff. For their own reasons, NVIDIA's drivers want to install "special" versions of the OpenGL headers that contain constants for NV_* extensions which aren't defined in headers from other vendors (Mesa/x.org, ATI, etc...). This would be fine, but sometimes the NVIDIA headers end up being a little behind on *standard* extensions that are required for some software to compile. FWIW, I think this is silly. The driver release is for users, who don't care about header versions. People who do care about header declarations and funny extensions are called "developers", and are more than capable of going to nvidia.com and downloading headers themselves.
