Java error on startup

I am running MATLAB R2017b in CentOS 7. I recently updated my OS. On launching MATLAB after the update, I am getting the following output in the command window:

com.jogamp.opengl.GLException: X11GLXDrawableFactory - Could not initialize shared resources for X11GraphicsDevice[type .x11, connection :0, unitID 0, handle 0x0, owner false, ResourceToolkitLock[obj 0x12624809, isOwner false, <9505c38, 50912b46>[count 0, qsz 0, owner <NULL>]]]

How do I fix these errors?
