Since you're trying to run 32-bit software on a 64-bit machine, the 
problem may be that you don't have the 32-bit libraries that Scrivener 
needs. Does it indicate its dependencies? In any case, you might try 
installing package "ia32-libs" from the repository; it contains many of 
the most commonly used 32-bit libraries.
