Thank you Michael, apt-file is a really useful package...
still, the library "libGL.so" and the package "libgl1-mesa-dev" was
already installed in my system (cmake automatically recognize it and
associate it to the variable OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY).
I had a look into the file "CMakeError.log" but without succes... any
other suggestion?
Bests,
