/usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLcore.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but I do have libGLcore.so.180.44 in /usr/lib -- what package is missing?
I'm also using NVidia stuff, if that makes any difference.

there were lots of shlibdeps warnings during the build, imploring the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- do you need to see them?
