I poked around to find out which package I needed to create those
symlinks for--I just couldn't remember--and it turns out to be MesaLib.

It installs /usr/pkg/lib/libglapi.so.0:

$ pkg_info -L MesaLib
Information for MesaLib-20.0.6nb1:

Files:
...
/usr/pkg/lib/libglapi.so
/usr/pkg/lib/libglapi.so.0
/usr/pkg/lib/libglapi.so.0.0.0
...

But then, it also requires the same library in /usr/X11R7/lib:

$ pkgin requires MesaLib
Shared libraries required by MesaLib-20.0.6nb1:
...
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.9
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.7
...
        /usr/X11R7/lib/libglapi.so.1
        /usr/X11R7/lib/libglapi.so.0
...

Nay, it needs 2 of them.

Over to nia@, I think :)
