ARToolKit needs opengl.so, glu.so, and glut.so

Today I wanted to install ARToolKit and play around with it. On my netbook I have Windows. In downloaded the Windows binaries and it works, but the webcam is not very good. So I wanted to install ARToolkit on my Desktop PC with a Camcorder connected to my TV Card for better video quality.

So I downloaded the Source and played around with it.
Configure didn't threw errors. I chose 1.: Video4Linux.
I found out it won't compile when choosing yes at "Color conversion should use x86 assembly (choose 'n' for 64bit systems)?", so I chose "no" (whatever that means).
make went well too.

I started the bin/simpleTest and saw nothing but a black window.
So I checked the documentation.
It says

Verify that OpenGL and GLUT RunTimes are installed: You need to find opengl.so, glu.so, and glut.so, generally in /usr/X11R6/lib, /usr/lib, or /usr/local/lib.

Problem is: I can't find these three files.
opengl.so seems to be in sdl_perl but I doubt this is the file I'm searching for...
(sdl_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/SDL/OpenGL/OpenGL.so)
I wasn't able to find much about the glut runtime in the repos or the aur...

That's where I'm now and I don't know what to do now... Is it possible I can't run ARToolKit on Linux without something ugly?

Re: ARToolKit needs opengl.so, glu.so, and glut.so

well

 pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libglut.so
/usr/lib/libglut.so is owned by freeglut 2.4.0-3

as for the others I don't know about glu.so but for opengl this might be what you need

 pacman -Ss opengl
extra/libgl 7.2-1
    Mesa DRI OpenGL library and drivers
