answer fatal error: glfw/glfw3.h: no such file or directory

fatal error: glfw/glfw3.h: no such file or directory

Comment

On Linux the header files should normally be in /usr/include/GLFW, but the compile error suggests that they are not there. Older versions of glfw were stored in /usr/include/GL instead, in which case your include line needs to be changed to #include <GL/glfw.h>.

Another possibility is /usr/local/include/GLFW, but that is unlikely if you installed through a package manager rather than manually.

If you have locate installed, try searching for them with locate glfw3.h in your shell of choice.
