ll /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL* gives:
-rw-r--r--    1 root root 666K 2004-09-06 13:16 libGL.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root root    12 2004-09-18  17:41 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.2*

-rw-r--r--    1 root root  31K 2004-09-06  13:16 libGLw.a

How can I recognize a diverted library? After a "find / -name 'libGL*'" 
I can only see these libraries.
