Alright. My first guess is that you are missing this file:
"libGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

That appears to be the reason that this entire cascade of errors started. Try reinstalling the application and seeing if that helps, or if the game is patchable, try patching it.

Wait... do you have the oggvorbis library installed? Because that appears to be what is causing the errors.
