LSWS standard only includes 32 bit binary files. To run Standard Edition on a 64bit Linux build, you will need to install 32bit compatible libraries (ia32-libs for Ubuntu/Debian and glibc for CentOS).

On a Debian System:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

For Debian 7 : ia32-libs
For Debian 8 : lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

Solves the problem.

Please pay attention to the note for each file on download page. For example, to run LSWS version 5.0 on FreeBSD version higher than 8.x (x86) needs to install /usr/ports/misc/compat8x.
