I do already have the dev package libgl1-mesa-dev installed.

Stunning fact is that in "installed file" section I see from Synaptic 
package manager shows that I should have /usr/lib/libGL.so installed, 
but in reality I don't.  I even just tried re-installing libgl1-mesa-dev 
debian package but I still don't get /usr/lib/libGL.so !!!

It's just seems to the bug of libgl1-mesa-dev 7.4-2 packaging.  It 
doesn't seem to make the symbolic link which it claims to make.  Duh ...

@ So, for now, I should make the symbolic link myself anyway.
