You do not have to make a softlink to install use --force --nodeps For example rpm -iUh opendx-4.1.3.i386.rpm --force --nodeps
This sould install without checking RPM dependencies. As for as symbols are concerned, I think it will be a problem because binaries are linked to libGL.so from nVidia which makes a dynamic call to libGLcore.so.1. My versions of Opendx 4.1 for RedHat 7.0 were also compiled at a workstation which had nVidia GeForce2 Ultra, but distribution to public, installed SGI OpenGL in /usr/local and manually edited Opendx Makefiles to link to /usr/local/lib/libGL.so nVidia folks intentionally made libGL.so to depend upon libGLcore.so... just a dirty business trick to convience non-nVidia users to buy their cards....
