Hi all, Glendon,

I had this problem a while back and granted I cannot 
recall all the steps I made, however right now I have this 
libGL.so.1 issue fixed by renaming it to, say, 
libGL.so.1.backup and then creating a symlink that's 
called the same, pointing it to libGL.so.1.2, like here: 
`sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1`

I needed to download an older version of the file 
libGL.so.1.2, found a reference and an explanation to it 
in the forums, I forget the thread. If anyone needs it, 
lemme know and I'll find a way to upload it somewhere. 
I'll briefly look for the thread in the 'forums, I'll post 
it later if I can find it.

The regular disclaimers apply, this works for me but might 
not work for you, please don't blame me if you break your 
system and can't repair it afterwards. :) My trick is a 
dirty hack and should not be taken as the Official 
Truth(tm).

HTH. :)
