Fedora 9, drivers from rpmfusion-nonfree, have reinstalled drivers. Worked fine until this evening.

Would like to attatch full bug log, cannot find attachment function.
EDIT: Error arises from installation of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386. If one installs the driver first and then attempts to install the libs, a transaction check error indicates a conflict. It is possible to "fool" yum into installing the i386 library by installing it first.

Reason: New information
Hi looks like the i386 version is installed (/usr/lib)
You might want to un-install that first then install the x86_64 version only.
you will also need the x server package...

I require the 32 bit library to run graphical programs in wine. Uninstalling the 32 bit library does remove the error (glx gears runs), but doesn't allow me to run my programs.
Hi, My thought was to install the system (64bit) files first,
then you may install the 32 bit packages for programs once the system has the files in the right places.

(dosen't the nvidia package install 32bit versions too? or
at least offer to do so after/during the 64bit install)
I've been installing through yum. Whenever I install any of the 64 bit nvidia packages, the rest are installed for dependencies.
When I try to install the 32 bit library package (once the 64 bit packages are already installed) yum finds a conflict with
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-%{_libs}.conf, which is provided by both the 64 and 32 bit libraries. The file in question consists of one line:
/usr/lib64/nvidia
When the 32 bit library is installed, the 64 is omitted. However, manually editing the file to restore the 64 didn't solve the problem.
Force installing the RPM breaks GLX.

I say this because I use Mandriva and the nVidia proprietary driver package which may be different to RedHat and Fedora.
Or you might try linking the 64bit files to where wine expects to find them (/usr/lib).
ln /usr/lib/filename.so /usr/lib64/filename.so
I hope you can see what I mean.
eg, system first, programs after you restart x.
Regards, Glenn
ps. with mandriva mesa packages are used to do this too (not glx though)
I'm about to try linking, but I'm doubtful that it'll help wine.
EDIT: I wound up not manually linking, because I found something much more interesting: Force installing with --nopost lets me install without hosing glx. wine can't use them, but at least now they're there to be found.
Eureka! In the very first sentence of the description in the ldconfig man page, /etc/ld.so.conf appears. So ldconfig was referring to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-%{_libs}.conf, the file that both versions of the nvidia libraries have. I'd dismissed it as the culprit when fixing it and rebooting failed to stop the problem, but of course ldconfig isn't run on every boot.
In order to get things working right, I had to include both /usr/lib64/nvidia and /usr/lib/nvidia. Just the latter causes glx to fail, only the former and wine doesn't work. With both, the problem is solved.
Check if a file named nvidia-%{_lib}.conf exists in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
In this case try this:
cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d
rm nvidia-%{_lib}.conf
echo '/usr/lib/nvidia' > nvidia-x86.conf
echo '/usr/lib64/nvidia' > nvidia-x86_64.conf
ldconfig
and then restart Xorg.
