Follow-up Comment #9:

I can't account for the differences you are seeing. It sounds like you are on
the right path though to figuring out what is different. You should keep
looking along these lines to find out what the linking difference is and what
it should be on your openSUSE system with nvidia drivers installed.

I'll keep this bug report open for now, just in case there is something Octave
could do to improve the linking situation when you are able to find out what
needs to be done, but it really is coming down to some local library path
configuration issue. For comparison, on Debian and on CentOS, when the nvidia
GL libraries are installed, the original mesa GL libraries are diverted to a
different directory so they are no longer reachable. Having both the original
mesa library and the nvidia library linkable at the same time seems to me like
a situation ripe for problems.
