Are you maybe running 64-bit?  If so, you have to install ia32-libs:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

As other general thoughts, make sure you are running it from the
command line, make sure you made it executable if it is not (chmod +x
hdsentinal), if it is in your home directory or somewhere not likely
in your path, be sure to put ./ in front of it:

sudo ./hdsentinel

You will have to be root or use sudo to run it.

Hopefully one of these ideas will help.  I have run it on both 32 and
64 bit Hardy and 32 and 64 bit Lucid, so it should work.  Let me know
if none of these ideas helps out and we can see if we can figure
something else out.
