ran these and immediately got a prompt with no messages

Running each of the next three produced readout that seemed to indicate errors
in syntax - i.e. instructions for proper running of the command:
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -f -- -t textrel_shlib_t'/usr/lib/libGL(core)?
\.so(\.[^/]*)*'
semanage {login|user|port|interface|fcontext|translation} -l [-n]
semanage login -{a|d|m} [-sr] login_name
semanage user -{a|d|m} [-LrRP] selinux_name
semanage port -{a|d|m} [-tr] [ -p protocol ] port | port_range
semanage interface -{a|d|m} [-tr] interface_spec
semanage fcontext -{a|d|m} [-frst] file_spec
semanage translation -{a|d|m} [-T] level
Primary Options:
-a, --add Add a OBJECT record NAME
-d, --delete Delete a OBJECT record NAME
-m, --modify Modify a OBJECT record NAME
-l, --list List the OBJECTS
-h, --help Display this message
-n, --noheading Do not print heading when listing OBJECTS
Object-specific Options (see above):
-f, --ftype File Type of OBJECT
"" (all files)
-- (regular file)
-d (directory)
-c (character device)
-b (block device)
-s (socket)
-l (symbolic link)
-p (named pipe)
-p, --proto Port protocol (tcp or udp)
-P, --prefix Prefix for home directory labeling
-L, --level Default SELinux Level (MLS/MCS Systems only)
-R, --roles SELinux Roles (ex: "sysadm_r staff_r")
-T, --trans SELinux Level Translation (MLS/MCS Systems only)
-s, --seuser SELinux User Name
-t, --type SELinux Type for the object
-r, --range MLS/MCS Security Range (MLS/MCS Systems only)
On inspection, there is no file or directory named "/usr/lib/libGL"
or "/usr/lib/libGL(core)"

Running this command yielded similar results as just above, and in this case
there is no file/directory named "/usr/lib/libnvidia" - the same for the next
command

I'm running the nvidia rpms from Livna - there is a folder
called "/usr/lib/nvidia" which has "*.so" files in it; could this be what you
mean for the last two commands? That still wouldn't account for the problem
with "/usr/lib/libGL", however...
