To link to mesa the you need the command that looks something like this:
  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL

which presumably you have.  It's possible that the rpm installed your
libs elsewhere.  In particular, they are suppsoed to go in /usr/lib.
So the first thing is to check to make sure that libGL.so.whatever
actually points to a real lib.  They should all be symbolic links to
libGL.so.1.2.0 I think.  Next, make sure there aren't other libGL.so
links laying aroung that your link might pick up first.  If that
doesnt work, give us more information.  Like the actual link command
and an 'ls -l' of libGL.so and whatever it links too.  Be doublely sure
about not having multiple versions around.  That tends to bite alot of
people.

It should actually want libGL.so
