Performer for Linux itself doesn't include OpenGL libraries (or API
equivalent) since they tend to differ from vendor to vendor as
various folks work on hardware acceleration.
However, OpenGL is a dependency for Performer apps so you need some
form of OpenGL or API equivalent simply to run (or compile). One
that some people use is Mesa3D, a software renderer, check the
dependencies section of the Mongoose FAQ for download locations of
some pre-built images:

And it goes without saying that once the upcoming SGI Linux Desktop
systems come out (shown at LinuxWorld last week), you'll have a
complete and accelerated and tuned and FAST OpenGL implementation
fully packaged & ready-to-go.. :-)
