Please check that you have an /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so file, and
that it points to some other /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.* files, and
that those exist.

Also, from what package is that libGL.a?  Try a
dpkg --search /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a

It should say xlibmesa-gl-dev.

Anyway, I suggest you (re)install xlibmesa-gl-dev.
