The header files from the proprietary Nvidia driver are deprecated. Use 
the OpenGL headers from Mesa.  If these headers are missing, then:
1. nvidia-switch --remove
2. remove nvidia packages
3. reinstall Mesa from the Slackware CD/DVD.
4. install nvidia packages

If you upgraded from earlier SBo nvidia iterations, the headers may have 
gotten stomped on as I waffled between the older nvidia gl*.h and the 
newer Mesa versions.  Nvidia has had a post this.  You can search LQ and 
this list for details.
