I had a similar problem for months, finally I looked into /lib or /usr/lib (I think it was |
| 17 |
an nvidia/ subdirectory of these) and found that some symlinks where pointing to old |
| 18 |
versions of the libraries provided by nvidia. I adjusted the symlinks to point to the new |
| 19 |
versions and the message disappeared. |

Sorry I cannot be more precise but it was some time ago and right now I'm on an |
| 22 |
nvidia-less system. |

Note that in my case it was just an annoying log message, the server did start successfully. |
