Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

What could also be done, is using a virtual package which would provide
libGL.so. How about the rpm created by this spec file :

Name: nvidia-fake-glx
Summary:  Fake NVidia package
Version: 1.0
Release: 1
License: GPL
Group: User Interface/X
Source0: %name.README
Buildroot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root
Buildarch: noarch
Provides: libGL.so.1 libGL.so.1.2

%description
Install this package if you used the NVidia installer to install
the drivers on your system

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version
install -p %{SOURCE0} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_docdir/%name-%version/README

%files
%defattr(644,root,root)
%_docdir/%name-%version/README

%changelog

- initial package


Could this be a cleaner solution ?
