No openGL, glxgears, glxinfo - libm.so.3 not found

[Joseph Vella]

OpenGL apps won't run.  glxgears and glxinfo give me the same error:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.3" not found, required by 
"libGL.so.1"

I have the nVidia driver, I have renderaccel set to true in xorg.conf.
Transparancy and shadows work in KDE with no performance issues.

Any ideas where do I go from here?
