Hi,

Please check and help me. Thanks in advance.

@Surendar-Dharani Install libgles2 and libgles2-dev packages

There is a broadcom version of these libraries situated under /opt/vc/. You could make symbolic links there to have the correct name, and give the directory into the path

@Surendar-Dharani as mentioned by @maxwell31 regarding libraries, you may want to take a look at step #15 from this guide (I know it's related to cross-compilation, but that step may apply to your issue).
