I'm try to play some Humble Indie Bundle (HIB) games, but I'm getting errors with Aquaria and Penumbra: Overture that are related to the libGL.so.1 file.

Aquaria gives this error on launch:

Message: SDL_GL_LoadLibrary Error: Failed loading libGL.so.1

And Penumbra: Overture gives this error on launch:

./penumbra.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I know that the file libGL.so.1 does exist (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1). From past errors like this, I'm guessing that you need to symlink the library to another directory, but I can't figure out which one.
