Thank you all for the hint! My system has libGL.so in /usr/X11R6/lib (as
it was installed by nvidia's rpm).
Simple symlinking it to /usr/lib/libGL.so worked.

However Freespace is the only program that failed to find my libGL.so
automatically. It might be nice to add the ability to look for libGL in
few more places than /usr/lib/. (Or at least include this case. In some
sort of troubleshooting.)

Can upcoming addition of FS1 support be such a milestone? Freecraft, for
instance, has intermediate binary betas to try. I'm going to make a
src.rpm of freespace. Having some certainty that this or that snapshot
is usable (as a beta) would help.
