Lots of stuff isn't installed "by default" in RHEL5.  And there's no 
"everything" .. grr...

Here you go:

On my RHEL5 its from package :

mesa-libGLU-devel-6.5.1-7.2.el5

/usr/include/GL/glu.h
/usr/share/man/man3/gluCheckExtension.3gl.gz
/usr/include/GL/glu.h
/usr/share/man/man3/gluCheckExtension.3gl.gz
