This looks very familiar... I get this when I build and reinstall 
some OpenGL related package (can't remember which one...), which 
replaces some of the GL libs.

The fix is to remove all GL libs (libGL, libGLU, libglut) and 
reinstall the OpenGL driver package, then run ldconfig, unless the 
install script does so.

In my cases (two Red Hat 7.0 systems with XFree86 3.3.6 + Utah-GLX 
0.10-pre1) a 'make install' of Utah-GLX with the GLU and GLUT libs 
(ported from Mesa and included with Utah-GLX) + copying the glx.so to 
the right place [the install script fails to do that for some reason] 
fixes the problem.
