That should be libGL.so.

Let me demonstrate. After today's X upgrades:

[root at cobra phantom]# rpm -q --whatprovides libGL.so.1
nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-0.lvn.3.3
[root at cobra phantom]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libGL.so
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1.902-7
[root at cobra phantom]# ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 28 Jan 28 09:43 /usr/lib/libGL.so -
> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
[root at cobra phantom]# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 12 Jan 28 09:43 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so ->
libGL.so.1.2
[root at cobra phantom]# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
ls: /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2: No such file or directory
[root at cobra phantom]# ld -lGL
ld: cannot find -lGL
[root at cobra phantom]# ln -sf /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so
[root at cobra phantom]# cd /usr/include/GL
[root at cobra GL]# mv gl.h glx.h glx.h glxext.h glxint.h glxmd.h
glxproto.h glxtokens.h osmesa.h mesa -f
mv: cannot stat `glx.h': No such file or directory
[root at cobra GL]# ln -sf /usr/include/nvidia/GL/* .
[root at cobra GL]# cd /usr/X11R6/lib
[root at cobra lib]# mv libGL.* libOSMesa* mesa -f
[root at cobra lib]# ldconfig
bash: ldconfig: command not found
[root at cobra lib]# /sbin/ldconfig
[root at cobra lib]# ld -lGL
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
[root at cobra lib]# rm -f a.out

Repeat this every time X is upgraded or don't upgrade X.
