The source of the problem is that I assign a value in .bash_profile
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib/:/usr/local/lib64/
which causes the wrong libGL.so to be loaded when the proprietary nvidia
graphics server is active. The latest version of libGL, included in
Fedora-18 emits an error message, which allowed me to track to trouble
down:
$ google-earth
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more
details.
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose google-earth
libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
