OK, I thought so.

Well, the XFree86 libGL library is also in `/usr/lib/libGL.so' (not
`/usr/X11R6/lib' or `/usr/lib/X11') as mandated by the LSB. Perhaps it
would be possible for `./configure' to run a real test to see if the
installed `libGL' is sane or not (it would be possible to make such a
test with Autoconf :-). Other than that, I think words of caution is
the only approach.
Anyone using XFree86 4.x should _not_ use the Mesa libraries. Instead,
they should use the native XFree86 GL libraries. And if one has an
NVidia graphics card, one should use the GL libraries from NVidia. That
gives the best performance.
Yours,
