The think about these libraries is that they usually link to their location somewhere else.
In your case that it's possible that /usr/lib/libGL.so points to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 which is pointed to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7174
On my system I know that /usr/lib/libGL.so is pointing to /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libGL.so which I know is pointing to something else.
what I would do is create a link in your paintball directory to the /usr/lib/libGL.so library.
Within the paintball2 directory you can execute the command:
ln -s libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so

Depending on your system you made need to execute it as root.
You might hit some other roadblocks after that, post them here before wasting your time online searching for problems, I'm familiar with a couple of them.

Well, I'm not sure what output that command is supposed to give me, but this is what I got

ryan450@1[paintball2]$ ln -s libGL.so /usr/lib/libGL.so
ln: `/usr/lib/libGL.so': File exists

When I try as root it does exactly the same thing...

Sounds like libGL.so is linked to something that no longer exists.   Link it to one of the other files.  If you have an nVidia card, download the nVidia drivers and follow the installation instructions carefully.

I have my nvidia drivers installed and setup already, I play with opengl with all my games and this problem never comes up.. but how do I link libGL.so to something else?

I'm by no means an advanced linux user.. my current linux distro is SimplyMepis and it pretty much autoconfigured everything for me.

What I did to resolve this was create a symbollic link to the libGL.so file that was on my system from the nvidia driver installation.  I don't know the exact location of the .so from this pc, but I can check when I get home.
You could always try 'locate libGL.so'
Let me know if you need any more help.

well, when I do locate libGL.so I get this back

locate libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.7174
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa
/usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa

and when I use my file manager to look at it graphically it says unkown link and its 0 bytes..

hey guys,

Been trying to run this paintball game under my linux system but I keep getting this error when I try to run the game..

ryan450@1[paintball2]$ ./paintball2
Paintball 2 -- Version 3.21+r0.16
execing configs/default.cfg
Console initialized.

------- sound initialization -------

ryan450@1[paintball2]$ locate libgl.so

/usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa
ryan450@1[paintball2]$


basicly all I did was extract it and try to launch the binary.. not sure how to fix this one.. when doing locate to find the file its listed there.. but when I view it under my file manager it reads as an unknown link :S.. and as you can see I have different varients of it..

any and all help appreciated
