I have been fighting this one for a while. Reinstall the RPMS. Reason is that 
you probably run NVIDIA drivers. NVIDIA install moves them out of the way for 
some reason.

Yep, it also removes libGL.la (from libMesaGLU1-devel) without replacing
it.
I usually re-extract libGL.la and create symlinks in /usr/X11R6/lib for
libGl.so and libGLcore.so.1
Don't forget to run ldconfig.

You probably want to link against NVidia's GLX library, in that case.

I really wish they would open the code for this monster. I'm currently 
back to the nv.o driver on my main box because the nvidia.o driver 
crashes several times a day (nForce2-based MSI mobo).

At least we have an alternative, and it looks like we're having a real 
(Open) alternative for their LAN driver as well.

Cheers; Leon

Oh yes, there is un obvious problem with the current kernel.
Being tired of these freezes, I would like to know what platform is
suited for linux?
gcc keeps giving me internal errors, I am kind of tired of these things.
wondering,
