Kind of off topic for this list, but the OpenGL API does not cover
window management, you *have* to use some other API to get a window
open. Either raw Xlib/GLX, or SDL or a toolkit like GTK/
QT/FLTK/wxWidgets. If you're looking to just do some game-style 3D, SDL
is your best bet. Otherwise, if you need some GUI around it look into a
toolkit. Raw Xlib/GLX is... unnecessary. (GLUT is rather archaic and
unmaintained, SDL is a much better and maintained alternative.)
