Your OpenGL might have an install problem or a conflict, you're getting some odd errors.

According to CIV5's Steam page, your graphics card is unsupported...
http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930/

"NOTICE: Intel Integrated video chipsets (GMA 9XX, HD 3XXX) will not run Civilization V for SteamOS and Linux, and are unsupported."

Even if the game ran, I think it would be pretty slow, even on Windows.

Could it run the game in tactical in windows?
