Celestia Forums

I just upgraded my video card to a GeForce4 ti4200 and I'm having trouble getting Celestia to start up.
The message I am getting is that Celestia can't load a required library. The library it is looking for is:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
When I installed the NVidia drivers for the board, it moved this library and saved it under the name:
xxx.libGL.so.1.2.RPMSAVE
I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Mandrake rpm, but I'm still getting the same error message.
Should I just put the old library back, or what?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All my other apps sems to be working fine, and I have my XF86Config file in good shape (I think)

Thanks

what output does this command return?: ls -al /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so*

Here is what I get from ls -l libGL*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 19 18:00 libGL.so.1 -> libGLwrapper.so.0.1.6*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17 Mar 6 12:52 libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3.403*

reinstall the nvidia drivers, that should install the libgl.so.1.2 file

Tried reinstalling the GLX rpm I got from NVidia and no luck.
Forced the install of the NVidiai kernel and now X won't start.
I've decided to abandon my Linux project sonce it just seems like so much trouble.
Thanks for your help

For what it-s worth now, all that was needed was to do:
ln -s usr/lib/libGL.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so

Thanks for the input, but how would that help it find

/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

Sorry, my earlier post was wrong. I just ran a rpm -qf on the libGL files and they are apparently provided by Mandrake's XFree86-libs and XFree86-devel RPMs.
