You fail to see that libGL.so is a dead link on systems which don't have Mesa GL installed.
But Mesa GL *should* be installed if you intend to compile anything. That's the point.
So, requiring me to go install Mesa GL is already a bug.
I fail to see how/why requiring MesaGL to compile anything is a bug.
rpm -ql xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL* -p
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
How is this supposed to work? /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 takes precedence over the nvidia folder with the same lib.

Even if it didn't, relying on which libGL.so.1 came first seems like a very fragile setup. I recall redirecting that link,
The nvidia folder is supposed to take precedence at runtime. That is how it is *supposed* to work.
Fragile or not, it works for most folks, and is certainly better than what the nvidia installer does.
