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.
