OpenGL 4.3 development setup in Ubuntu 14.04 - c++

Question

I've just started working my way through the OpenGL SuperBible 6th ed and am having a very hard time getting any of the samples to compile on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed the dev packages dependencies:
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglfw-dev nvidia-331-dev cmake
I grabbed gl3w from skaslev's github, ran the python script and then sudo copied gl3w.h and glcorearb.h to /usr/include/GL/
I grabbed the samples from the SuperBible github and the media files, unzipped the media files into bin/media. Then I went back to the root of the sb6 files (the folder is called sb6code_2013_11_10 in my case) where and ran:
cmake .
make
cmake works fine, but make throws:
[ 6%] Built target sb6

So I decided to try and write my own small program based on Listing 2.1 in the book:
#include "sb6.h"
class my_application : public sb6::application
{
void init()
{
static const char title[] = "OpenGL SuperBible - Listing 2.1";
sb6::application::init();
memcpy(info.title, title, sizeof(title));
}
void render(double currentTime)
{
static const GLfloat red[] = {1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f};
glClearBufferfv(GL_COLOR, 0, red);
}
};
DECLARE_MAIN(my_application)
Then I try to compile it:
g++ listing2.1.cpp -o listing2.1 -lGL -lGLU -lX11 -lglfw -D_LINUX
But that gives me a different set of errors:
In file included from sb6.h:65:0,

I checked in sb6.h that gl3w.h is included before any of the OpenGL dependencies and that's true so I'll really not sure what to try next. Seems to be a linking problem but it's been a long time since I've been developing in C++ and I'm not sure what to try next.
Update
I followed didierc's suggestion and found that there was a sb6code_2013_11_10/include/GL folder with gl3w.h and glcorearb.h. I temporarily moved the GL folder out of sb6code_2013_11_10/include and then ran cmake and make again and then received the following error:

Then I thought "Ok, then maybe I'll try using the gl3w.h and glcorearb.h that came with the sb6 package." So I restored the GL folder and then deleted the gl3w.h and glcorearb.h I previously generated with the python script and placed in /usr/include/GL. After a cmake and make I then get this error:

So I'm not sure if that's progress but at least is exposes some of the snakes. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated!

Here's what I get from running make VERBOSE=1 with the GL folder intact (ie just as it was when I downloaded the sb6 files, but I also have glw3.h and glcorearb.h in /usr/include/GL):

Update 3
I was able to find a solution to the build problem with the sb6 sample code. It turns out there is a error in the CMakeLists.txt included with the sample code where on line 13 the 'elif (UNIX)' should be 'elseif (UNIX)'. See references:
trouble trying to build opengl superbible example code
https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code/issues/12
https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code/issues/8
With that fix the sb6 sample code now compiles for me. However, when I try to use sb6.h in my own sample code (listed in my_application above) I still get
In file included from sb6ext.h:29:0,

I was able to solve the sb6 sample code compilation problems by fixing a bug in CMakeLists.txt where on line 13 the 'elif (UNIX)' should be 'elseif (UNIX)'. See the following for references:

https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code/issues/12
https://github.com/openglsuperbible/sb6code/issues/8
I have not solve my compilation problems when I use sb6.h in my own code yet but will update this answer when I do
