looks like you are still having the issue;  either remove the XF86 Mesa
rpm or rename the Mesa libGL.* files:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/tls && rename libGL. disabled.libGL. libGL.*

This always works for me:

---
export CC=gcc32
#below is not strictly necessary given the prev. line
export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run --keep --accept-license
