A driver depends on OpenGL, what package provides it?

Question

My device software dependencies are: dkms opengl gcc glibc kernel-headers. But when i install opengl it fail. What i have to use in 10.04 and 11.04 (i have both installed side by side for learning)

Follow up:

Step 1: dkms/gcc/glibc

# apt-get install dkms
# apt-get install build-essential

Step 2: kernel-headers

# apt-cache search linux-headers-$(uname -r)
>linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic - Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.32 on x86/x86_64
# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic

Step 3: OpenGL

# apt-get install opengl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package opengl
--- see answer

--- verify
# glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.7.1

Done.

Mesa's OpenGL libraries is provided by libgl1-mesa-glx . The development headers can be found in the libgl1-mesa-dev package.
