I'm no expert on the code base but since it looks like something went south with the opengl is it possible that you need to install some opengl thing or get a library that's missing?
Which install are you using and is this just the base default setup?

Show us your ~/.openra/Logs/graphics.log after the start. It's most probably the bug in previous playtest with wrong config file for SDL2 lib.

Actually something is very wrong with your graphics card driver. It seems to have no OpenGL support. The error message has been improved to contain more hints recently. Try to install http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20140602/ instead.
