New Install Generates Lots of Errors

I've used Calibre for a long time with many upgrades. Yesterday, the hard drive on which I kept various Linux distros died, and I installed Lubuntu on the drive where I keep all my data files. I also maintain the /opt partition on that drive, and it's the location for the Calibre files.

When I run Calibre, I get this:
Code:
~@PC1:/opt/calibre# ./calibre
/opt/calibre/bin/calibre: 1: ELF: not found
/opt/calibre/bin/calibre: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Is the missing ELF the problem? I don't know that is. I installed elfsh and elfutils, but that didn't help.

I tried installing the latest version of Calibre and got this:
Code:
Downloaded 49505481 bytes 
Checking downloaded file integrity... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
