Greetings Tim,

This error looks like you do not have opengl enabled on your linux system.
You will need to make sure you are running the appropriate video card
drivers. You can try running glxgears from the command line to see if
you are able to run OpenGL on your system without any modification. If
it does not work at all, then you will need to update your video card driver.

Cheers,

Sean
