If you want to run any OpenGL code with nvidia-driver you will need to 
reinstall the driver after every:
- kernel update
- update of x11-servers/xorg-server
- update of graphics/libGL*

There may be exceptions, but they're not worth figuring out or remembering.

In your case you may actually have a problem with math code in libm.so.3 vs 
libm.so.5, but I doubt it's the case as no OpenGL app that I encountered has 
one.
