missing openGL includes?

Ive just recently reformatted my hard drive, and in attempting to continue working on a project of mine using Irrlicht, I tried to compile the libraries again, I've made some changes of my own, and it cant find GL/gl.h. I don't remember having to install or download anything the last time I started working with this. Can anyone help me or point me in the direction of finding these includes?

Would help if you'd have told us which OS and IDE/compiler you use.

Sorry, forgot about that little detail, I'm using Windows XP SP3, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

Then you need to install a proper gfx card driver which comes with OpenGL support, though the headers should be part of VS.

Mine are in-
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\gl\

If it can't find them automatically then you've messed up the Windows Platform SDK install or your Visual Studio settings
