Unfortunately in QGIS v2.8.1 does not support plugin Globe. I was able to compile QGIS with osgEarth v2.1.1 (November 2011) and the current version is 2.6. Apparently we should wait until it is supported this great plugin. Here the thread of the mailing list:

@parched, I have achieved to install QGIS with Globe plugin with an older version of osgEarth [1], specifically version 2.1.1 (2011). This version contains all headers required to compile QGIS globe plugin. However, an error occurs when starting QGIS and closes with the following message:

----------------------------------
$ qgis

Warning: QGraphicsScene::addItem: item has already been added to this scene
Violación de segmento (`core' generado)

-----------------------------------
To correct the error I remove the Globe plugin of /usr/lib/qgis/plugins/libglobeplugin.so. However, I can not accomplish install the Globe plugin in QGIS.

I'm pending gives the answers in the thread mailing list QGIS developers: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2015-April/037418.html

Thanks for your reply @parched, I think I should keep the version OSGEarth 2.5 in the "osgearth" package until changes are accepted and QGIS is updated.

@geosam it won't work with osgearth 2.6. I have a patch for that but I haven't got around to properly testing it so haven't submitted it. https://github.com/parched/QGIS/commit/ec5a937391286688c2c27c2c6b13cc85a62f1dbf

Compiling the qgis 2.8.1-2 with osgearth-qt5 2.6, crash and get the next error:
