Thanks again for the info, unfortunately it didn't work. Very peculiar (or at least non-intuitive to me). I tried the workaround of renaming the libGL.so.1.2 file but I still couldn't get xlibmesa-gl to install-same error mesage about overwriting the (non-existent!) libGL.so.1.2 file. Thoughts anyone?
