It's okay now, I got OpenGL working again.

I am running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 64-bit version.
I have OpenGL and libGL stuff installed, but recently things that
require it no longer run and I get an error message when trying to run
from the command line like this:
cairo-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have libgl1-mesa-glx installed, which provides libGL.so.1
I have Codeweavers Crossover 12.0 installed as well, and this has a
diagnostics program cxdiag which gives the following output:

I already installed the 32-bit libraries required by Crossover.
Although if it still needs the ones listed above, then how can I
install those? i.e. instead of the 64-bit versions, what command do
use to install a 32-bit version? I tried sudo apt-get install
libgl1-mesa-glx:386 and similar but nothing got installed as it could
not find the package.
Things like Cairo Dock which was the first thing I noticed had failed
to run yesterday needs OpenGL libraries and so will not run, although
I do not know if it is 32- or 64-bit.
Before that everything worked fine. So I do not know what happened to
break the system and OpenGL.
The only thing I can think of is I had a small problem with Crossover
running Photoshop, and I had to install the libjpeg (or similar)
library, 32-bit, to get that working. And I updated Crossover from
11.3 to 12.0.
Any ideas on how to get OpenGL working again?
