Yeah I had a similar issue, went into a crazy rabbit whole, here is the solution to your problem:

  1. make sure you have the necessary packages
    sudo apt install -y pkg-config libglvnd-core-dev libglvnd-dev libegl1-mesa-dev
  2. check that you have the libglvnd.pc file
    dpkg -L libglvnd-core-dev | grep '\.pc'
  3. the critical part, make a symlink to glvnd..pc
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libglvnd.pc \ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/glvnd.pc
  4. now check if its working with this
    pkg-config --modversion glvnd
    should out the version
  5. you might need to export the path if the above cmd didn't work
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  6. recheck with pkg-config --modversion glvnd
  7. if it working add that line to you .bashrc
    echo 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
  8. now you can log out, login with console session with CTL + ALT + F3 and run the driver ./install script
