Could you try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev and reboot your PC?

I had this same issue and already had freeglut installed. I also don't think rebooting the computer would help (since the ld should be updated after the apt-get). I also did that but just saying.

In this case, I found that -lGLU was not being added to the compiler call so I added it to the glut compiler line in the CMakeLists.txt file here (Line 830 at the moment):
if (WITH_3D_RENDERER)
set(OpenPose_3rdparty_libraries ${OpenPose_3rdparty_libraries} ${GLUT_LIBRARY} -lGLU)
endif (WITH_3D_RENDERER)

This fixed the issue and allowed it to compile.
