Hi,
  I think that something has gone wrong with your video driver
after the CentOS update. It looks like the NVIDIA version of
libGL.so got replaced by some CentOS-supplied library, and that's
why things have gone south. The easiest thing is just to reinstall
your video drivers and hopefully that'll cure the problem.

Cheers,
  John Stone
