By any chance have you installed the nvidia drivers direct from nvidia rather than the arch 'nvidia' package?

Are you getting the same error? and have you installed anything else not using pacman?
Also, what is the output (if any) from the commands
pacman -Qo /usr/include/GL/gl.h
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libGL.so

First one is not owned by anything.
The second is owned by nvidia-utils.
I have installed nvclock and other stuff with pacman, but these programs i cannot.

The first one should be owned by mesa, however the one on your system was probably installed by the nvidia installer (can't say for sure, I've always used the arch nvidia package). It should be safe to force the upgrade of mesa (pacman -Sf mesa) and the carry on installing what you wanted.

Thank you so much for your time and help ghostHack. I really appreciate it. The force upgrade of mesa worked like a charm.
