Well, thats not the problem either. Further looking I noticed that it
does indeed find the needed library. It is included with the graal
tarball. However, checking their online forums, I found similar problems
reported by another user with an Nvidia card. Unfortunatly, I can't post
to said forums because they require me to pay a registration fee for the
game, which I sure as f*** ain't gonna do if it doesn't even work.
As a note, it does seem to find and read the libGL file:
[pid 543] open("/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so", O_RDONLY) = 8
...
[pid 543] open("/usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 8
Each noted file is a symbolic link, the first points to the second,
which points to /usr/lib/tls/libGL.so.1.0.4496 (4496 is the version of
my Nvidia driver). Kinda curious why it would load the files twice,
unless the first failed so it went looking for another version. Whatever
the case may be, this is as far as I go. If anyone gets this program
running (using the prop. nvidia driver &| X's nv driver) I would love to
hear about it.
