Problem with nvidia installer

[jim ruxton]

Thanks John,

Here is the result of:
# ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40011000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x49efe000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x49e1e000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x49f0e000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x49df5000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x49cb8000)
        libGLcore.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x4007a000)
        libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.1
(0x40752000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x49e19000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x49ca0000)

and:

#  ldd `which glxgears` | grep libGL
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40011000)
        libGLcore.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x4007a000)

 Does this look right?
