After Raspbian Stretch update, there are many errors shown on applications / games:

"error while loading shared libraries: libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

"Starting game from /home/pi/littlecrane-rpi
./littlecrane: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Original posts from users:

"I can't run a lot of games in new raspbian stretch, they worked OK in jessie:

error while loading shared libraries: libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm using a fresh instalation of latest debian stretch in a raspberry pi 2.
Some of the games than now doen't work are Maldita Castilla, Hurrican, Cubixmania, They need to be feed, etc..."

"When I updated to Stretch from Jessie the picam application on my RPi stopped working because it couldn't find the libraries mentioned above. I tried sym linking and making copies of the corresponding brcm libraries so no avail. ldconfig was not impressed :-)

By chance I decided to run sudo rpi-update this morning: I had updated the OS, so maybe I should update the firmware too. The missing libraries are now back in /opt/vc/lib. They have last modified dates of 22:49 on August 23rd. picam is now working again.

Posted in case there are other users and applications affected by the apparent loss of these libraries."

"Raspbian Stretch the library is called "libbrcmGLESv2.so" and not "libGLESv2.so" as in Jessie."

Most likely fixed on newer rpi-update firmware (4.9.44?)

I think rpi-update is unsupported for a while now, the normal procedure for updating is via apt-get upgrade/dist-upgrade. Upgrading to newer release versions can be done via editing sources.list and files in sources.list.d.
