In that case the test of this particular application is bogus. Certainly
well meant, but bogus. These two libraries are different by intention.
/usr/lib/libGL.so is from the Mesa package, while
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so is from the NVidia package, which should only be
installed, if you have a nvidia card. /usr/X11R6/lib precedes /usr/lib
for linking libraries, so all programs should pick up the NVidia
library.

Both, if you're running a 64bit system. /usr/X11R6/lib64 contains the
(native) 64bit library, /usr/X11R6/lib the compatibility library for
running 32bit applications.
