ldconfig, Pacman, and Nvidia Installer error with libGLcore

Any time I run pacman or ldconfig, I get:

ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.6111 is empty, not checked.

I'm sure this has something to do with having tried installing Xgl from shadowhand's repos, but what should I do about it?  (I've tried uninstalling the packages I got from those repositories, but to no effect.)

Also, if I try to reinstall (or upgrade) the Nvidia driver, I get an "INSTALLATION FAILED!" message.  (Despite that fact that the driver installs and works)

The error shows up in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log like this:
(...)
-> Driver file installation is complete.
-> Running post-install sanity check:
-> done.
-> Post-install sanity check passed.
-> Shared memory test passed.
-> Running runtime sanity check:
ERROR: The runtime configuration check failed for the library
       'libGL.so.1.0.8178' (expected: '/usr/lib/libGL.so.1', found:
       '/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1').  The most likely reason for this is that
       conflicting OpenGL libraries are installed in a location not inspected
       by `nvidia-installer`.  Please be sure you have uninstalled any
       third-party OpenGL and/or third-party graphics driver packages.
-> done.
-> Runtime sanity check failed.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
       '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find suggestions
       on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

Is this somehow related to the above issue?

Thanks!

Re: ldconfig, Pacman, and Nvidia Installer error with libGLcore

Same thing here after upgrading to 2.6.16 kernel, the nvidia driver failed to compile at all. I had to downgrade to 2.6.15 (with the "force" option).

I only use the standard packages and kernel, so this has obviously nothing to do with shadowhand's Xgl. Unfortunately the nvidia-installer.log file got rewritten after reinstalling, so I cannot post the relevant error message :? But if I recall correctly it had to do with an incorrect type declaration or smthg like that. Could it be an issue with latest glibc and/or gcc ? I might google around later and post a solution here if I find one.

Re: ldconfig, Pacman, and Nvidia Installer error with libGLcore

Update: An nvidia patch that supposedly solves this problem is available here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62021

Copy the ABS nvidia directory to your "local branch", and replace the file nvidia.patch by the one provided in the post above. Run makepkg and nvidia might now install properly. I have NOT tried it yet though, for lack of time...

HOWEVER, I just noticed that the pacman mirror I used for extra was not uptodate, so the problem described concerns 1.0.8178-15, whereas the latest version is *-16! The issue could thus be resolved now, even though at first sight the patch used in the latest version is still a bit older than the one available at the above URL.

This patch is the same that comes with package -16 but does not solve thge bug in every case.
