CentOS uses an excellent tool called yum that handles dependencies for you. I didn't let this complete for obviour reasons, but give something similar to this a try.

# yum erase xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL* 0 packages excluded due to repository protections --> Processing Dependency: libGLU.so.1 for package: xorg-x11-tools --> Processing Dependency: libGL.so.1 for package: gstreamer-plugins --> Processing Dependency: libGLU.so.1 for package: freeglut --> Processing Dependency: libGLU.so.1 for package: xscreensaver <snip a *TON* more of these> ---> Package xscreensaver.i386 1:4.18-5.rhel4.10 set to be erased ---> Package xorg-x11.i386 0:6.8.2-1.EL.13.37 set to be erased ---> Package freeglut.i386 0:2.2.0-14 set to be erased ---> Package gstreamer-plugins.i386 0:0.8.5-1.EL.0 set to be erased <and a *ton* of these too> ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Removing: xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL i386 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37 installed 403 k xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU i386 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37 installed 470 k Removing for dependencies: GConf2 i386 2.8.1-1 installed 3.9 M NetworkManager-gnome i386 0.3.1-3 installed 137 k SDL i386 1.2.7-8 installed 424 k VFlib2 i386 2.25.6-25 installed 556 k <and more tons>
