After a world update, libGL.so.1 doesn't exist, so many apps will no longer launch. I tried running opengl-update and using eselect opengl set xorg-x11, but they don't fix the problem. I don't use openGL really, but some apps still depend on it (mplayer in this case). re-emerging mplayer doesn't help. I know I can just create the symlink, but this is a portage bug.
Just looked in /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib, and libGL.so.1 is there and apparently correctly linked... Why can't mplayer find libGL.so.1?
What's the output of `ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so`?

LDPATH="/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib" OPENGL_PROFILE="nvidia" Works just fine here, check that you have proper LDPATH set above.
I don't know why I didn't paste this before, but I think the apps can find the so, but they can't use it: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot handle TLS data /usr/bin/Terminal: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot handle TLS data Also, all of my GTK apps look very different after the update.. possibly related to this I suppose.
