<pre wrap=""> Sorry, you might have already said this before but I deleted your
previous posts. How are you installing the Nvidia drivers? Are you
using the drivers from Nvidia or 3rd party drivers? Also try this link

I've reintalled GLX and the nvidia drivers. Using opengl-update to switch to
the xorg implementation of OpenGL gets passed the current error, but it
doesn't support a number of extensions and so fails anyway. Switching back to
nVidia OpenGL still has the 'Cant find libraries' error. All my other OpenGL
apps work though, so I dont know whats wrong :P

All I can think is that it might be this, in the NVIDIA/Readme
file, especially the part about ldconfig: <br>
<br>
A: If X starts, but OpenGL causes problems, you most likely have a<br>
problem with other libraries in the way, or there are stale symlinks.<br>
See Appendix C for details. Sometimes, all it takes is to rerun<br>
'ldconfig'.<br>
<br>
You should also check that the correct extensions are present;<br>
'xdpyinfo' should show the "GLX", "NV-GLX" and "NVIDIA-GLX"
extensions<br>
present. If these three extensions are not present, then there<br>
is most likely a problem with the glx module getting loaded or it<br>
is unable to implicitly load GLcore. Check your X config file and<br>
make sure that you are loading glx (see "Editing Your X config File"<br>
above). If your X config file is correct, then check the X log file<br>
for warnings/errors pertaining to GLX. Also check that all of the<br>
necessary symlinks are in place (refer to Appendix C).<br>
<br>
Hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't.<br>
