I think there's some problem with symlinkprogram... I have the same
problem here, and though symlinking NVidia with -c overwrite says:

  SymlinkProgram: Conflict: /Programs/Mesa/6.5/lib/libGL.so.1.2
  SymlinkProgram: Replaced with:
/Programs/Nvidia/x86-1.0-9746-pkg1/lib/libGL.so.1.0.9746

I still have in /lib:

libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2
libGL.so.1.2 -> /Programs/Mesa/6.5/lib/libGL.so.1.2

While in /Programs/NVidia/Current/lib I have:

libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.9746
libGL.so.1.0.9746

So, it seems SymlinkProgram doesn't handle symlinking symlinks correctly?
