Ksysguard won't run after uninstalling nVidia driver

[JohnJasonJordan]

I installed the proprietary nVidia driver on my Fedora 14 x86_64 laptop, but then went back to the nouveau driver. Now System Monitor won't launch. From the command line I get:

$ ksysguard
ksysguard: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.260.19.21: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I reinstalled it, which went without error, but I still get the same error as above. I also tried installing libnvidia-tls, but yum just said there is no such package. Of course, the package is part of the nVidia proprietary driver package, but I don't want to reinstall that.

I have the KDE desktop installed, but normally I boot to Gnome.

How can I get ksysguard to run again?

OK, now it's serious. I can do without ksysguard, but I need Fontmatrix, and it suffers now from the same ailment:

$ fontmatrix
fontmatrix: error while loading shared libraries: libnvidia-tls.so.260.19.21: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I really need to know how to restore the libnvidia-tls.so file.

Note that reinstalling Fontmatrix makes no difference.

If someone has that file, can you please just send it to me and tell me where to put it?

That file is part of the Nvidia proprietary video drivers, so just putting it back on its own is I guess very unlikely to work.

I don't know that this will do very much to help, but I would be tempted to try

su -c 'ldconfig -v'

to rebuild the network of links to library files.
