the nvidia drivers don't install developement things so you can't link to them so you have to do it by hand
this can get extreemly confusing and or confused if you have other GL versions like openGL GLade and whatever so write down what you do and look to see what's where and where there are symlinks
extract the nvidia driver (i think with an -x argument to the .run thing)
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1_0-5336-pkg1.run -x
in there is NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1/usr/include/GL folder it should be in /usr/include
so you then have /usr/include/GL as opposed to a GL link pointing back to /usr/X11R6/include
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1/usr/lib is where the lib files are
compile if nesesarry to get the lib files (i think just "make" will do it but you can do "make install" if you have to and it won't hurt anything) just overwrite with the same stuff
i just put the libGL.la out of that folder into /usr/lib where the library files were installed and it works
everything complains about it's date and the fact that it was moved but it still works fine
perhaps a new compile and install and copy it right then and no more complaints i don't know ?
