ddy at merci ~/usr/src/hacks/di/pppoe/20060824 $ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2006-09-16 01:47 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> libGL.so.1


Also, here is the package from which this comes:
eddy at merci ~/usr/src/hacks/di/pppoe/20060824 $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so
libgl1-mesa-dev: /usr/lib/libGL.so

If by "anything you meant "the rendering message dissapears", then the
answer is no.
