Linux install problem

I reinstalled one of my Linux clients but I'm having a problem with the client. I'm receiving a 'no such file or directory' message when attempting to execute the fah6 file in the terminal. I installed dozens of Linux clients and never received this message before. I'm in the right directory because it lists all the files in there when I type the dir command. Anyone know what's causing this?
 
It's been a while since I had that problem, but I want to say it's a file permissions issue. Double check to make sure the file is set as executable.

 
I tried several commands like the chmod to make it executable but so far no luck.
 
Ensure its executable: chmod +x fah6
make sure you're typing ./fah6 and not just fah6
if you're running a 32bit client on a 64bit OS, make sure you have the 32bit libraries (and not a 64bit client on a 32bit OS)
 
My OS is a native 64-bit distro of Ubuntu (Fluxbuntu) and the client is the Linux SMP. I thought initially that I didn't require the 32-bit libraries but decided to install them anyway, just in case. There seems to be another problem that's unrelated, however. In Synaptic Package Manager, I cannot locate the 32libs when I conduct a search. I enabled additional repositories and still the same problem. I even tried downloading them through the terminal and I'm getting a lot of 404 errors. This is really weird because when I try that on my VMs, the same OS isn't having any of these problems...

I noticed upon installing the OS that an error came up about not being able to locate some sources for updates and suspecting this may be related. That doesn't happen when installing this OS in a VM. Now, assuming that it's just a problem with missing 32-bit libraries, is there a way I can install them even if I cannot connect to the usual repositories for this distro?

Here is a list of repositories that all contain various version of ia32-libs, any of these should work.

The latest LinSMP client on the download page is an actual 64bit build. If you go with this one, you can just bypass the whole 32bit libraries situation. In the directory where the folding client lives, you can type "file fah6" to see which you have if you're not sure.

That's what I had suspected, that the new client didn't require the 32-bit libraries in a native installation, and I didn't attempt to install them at first. When the executables failed, I had to try installing them but then locating the libraries has been impossible. I installed both the beta and the regular version of the SMP client and the problem persists. This new OS installation isn't running at the moment. I will restart it later in the day, and see if I can get it to work with the link you provided. /crosses fingers
