What could also be done, is using a virtual package which would provide
libGL.so. How about the rpm created by this spec file :
Name: nvidia-fake-glx
Summary: Fake NVidia package
Version: 1.0
Release: 1
License: GPL
Group: User Interface/X
Source0: %name.README
Buildroot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root
Buildarch: noarch
Provides: libGL.so.1 libGL.so.1.2
%description
Install this package if you used the NVidia installer to install
the drivers on your system
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version
install -p %{SOURCE0} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version/README
%files
%defattr(644,root,root)
%_docdir/%name-%version/README
%changelog

- initial package
Could this be a cleaner solution ?
