I have not used mythtv v0.28 for a long time, it is possible something 
wrong has crept in.

libGLESv2.so: should be found in /opt/vc/lib/
Another copy of it is in libbrcmGLESv2.so in the same directory.
If libGLESv2.so is not found in /opt/vc/lib you could try creating a 
link there to libbrcmGLESv2.so:

cd /opt/vc/lib/
sudo ln -s libbrcmGLESv2.so libGLESv2.so

Also you can check which libraries mythfrontend uses and where it looks 
for them with
ldd /usr/bin/mythfrontend
