The most likely reason is that the NVidia 180.xx series drivers install 
nvidia-specific GL libraries and include files. These versions are not 
compatible to the normal versions.

If you open the NVidia-install.<version>.run install file with a -x on 
the command line, it will extract (but not install) the contents of the 
package and you can drill down in the src folder to look at the actual 
files which will be installed.

Whatever you do, do NOT install the nvidia package on your ati based box 
without backing up the original copies of all of the files in the nvidia 
package tree. The install is not commutative. You will need the backups 
to resurrect your system. (Or you can nuke the partition and start from 
scratch, which is always *FUN*!)

Although this does not answer the question of why if will not compile on 
  on the ati box. Unless you can find that the ati box is missing some 
libraries or include files. Try running a diff between the boxes against 
an 'ls -al' of each folder starting with /usr/lib/GL, /usr/lib/drm and 
the matching /usr/include folders.

Best bet is, something like glu.h is missing.
