YIKES!

It looks like you have at least three copies of Mesa *installed* and
another sitting in your build directory!!

Well, this may have worked for the demo's and might work OK for TuxRacer,
but with all those other Mesa libraries floating around on your hard
drive, you are likely to find problems with other OpenGL programs picking
up the wrong Mesa version.

I suggest you remove *ALL* of those libGL* and libMesaGL* files to
avoid confusion.  Then recompile in the way that finally got you
hardware accelleration.  Finally, create symbolic links from where
ever Mesa finally installed itself to:

   /usr/lib/libGL.so
   /usr/lib/libGLU.so

Those are the 'canonical' places for OpenGL to be installed.
