Just to make sure, as root run

bash% ldconfig -p | grep libGL

if you have not done so already.

You should obtain the following output:

        libGLU.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
        libGLU.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGLU.so
        libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
        libGL.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libGL.so

If you do, then something weird is going on.  If you don't, then the 
GL libraries are not indexed properly; this is probably not the 
case, since you say you have checked the paths in "/etc/ld.so.conf" 
...

Which version of Mesa or other GL implementation do you have 
installed?  I use the Helix Code GNOME 1.2 distribution w/o 
problems.  My Mesa RPMs:

bash% rpm -qa | grep Mesa
Mesa-3.2-1
Mesa-devel-3.2-1

I obtained my Mesa RPMs from the Mesa website at "http://www.mesa3d.o
rg".  If you have an earlier version of Mesa, try upgrading.  If you 
have a different OpenGL implementation, try asking people 
knowledgeable about that one on its mailing list.

I hope this helpful; good luck.
