I have followed Brian Ripley advice to read the R-admin manual. In Appendix A 
it is reported:

"Remember that some package management systems (such as RPM and deb) make a 
distinction between the user version of a package and the development 
version. The latter usually has the same name but with the extension `-devel' 
or `-dev': you need both versions installed."

In fact file "glu.h" was not installed because only the user version of GLU 
was installed on my system. Thus, I have downloaded the development version 
of GLU (mesa-libGLU-devel-6.4.2-6.FC5.3.i386.rpm) and installed it.  After 
that the package rgl has installed fine.

Thank you, Brian.
