Right now I'm in the process of upgrading kde to 3.5.5, and I've gotten
problems with kdesktop and kscreensaver with error messages similar to:

/usr/lib/libGL.so: undefined reference to `_nv001215gl'

There would be at least 3 or 4 lines, each with a different reference. In
order to get the compiling going again, I would do a:

eselect opengl set xorg-x11.

Normally, I'm running the 8776 version nvidia-drivers, which I switch back
to after the compiling is done. But now I'm wondering; since I'll be
running with a different libGL than the one I compiled with, will that
cause any problems while running?

Thanks,

When building KDE you should always use the xorg-x11 opengl, some packages
does handle that themselves, sadly not all.

The nvidia libGL is compatible with the xorg one, but not true the other way
around. Building some packages with the nvidia opengl enabled leads to build
failure.
