configure Qt with opengl on Ubuntu 8.10

After unpacking the latest Qt sources, I'm running

./configure -opengl

and the output ends with

All the OpenGL functionality tests failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL, QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL

I have installed the proprietary nvidia driver and programs like e.g stellarium are obviously using OpenGL. I have not installed anything specific that might give me the headers files that the configure script was apparently looking for. Is there something one can "apt-get install" that will put those headers in the appropriate places?
