It does. With the ../ parts, if you trace it back, that's /usr/lib64
that its pointing to.

I'd suggest:

$ rpm -qVf /usr/lib/libGL.so* /usr/lib64/libGL.so*

If the output isn't silent, something's still not back to the original
version from the package.

You definitely need to use that on a 64-bit build.

This doesn't seem to be a 64-bit issue. This is an nVidia issue. It
could happen exactly the same way on 32-bit.
