Yup, the NVIDIA libGL doesn't provide that symbol. It appears to be a
MESA extension, so you'll need the MESA libraries installed to use it.
The solution that you used above is the correct solution to the problem.
If you're building an application that needs to work with the NVIDIA GL
library, you'll need to avoid using that function and stick with the
simpler glXCreateGLXPixmap function. I'm not sure why the NVIDIA GLX
headers prototype the *MESA version and claim to support it.
There unfortunately isn't any way for us to fix this in some other way,
since the GL library provided by NVIDIA is non-free and without source and
the license prohibits us from changing it in any way. The best thing to
do is to avoid using it where possible.
I'm going ahead and closing this bug accordingly.
